Question How to take off ESP?

So this has been bothering me and I wonder if anyone know how to take off the ESP on a 2010 E?

I know its possible and you have to do some button combo or something to get to that setting. Google just wasn't my friend on this one...

Recently returned from Helsinki and was in a lot of Cabs. Never saw a new MB but many W210's and some earlier. Did not see many American cars. Did see a bunch of old US Classic cars driving around the city on a Sunday including a bunch of 63 to 67 Corvettes. that was neat!!

We should have a ban for E Taxi owners on these Boards, gotta uphold the American tale of the E-Class being something more than Europe's Ford Crown Victoria.

Ok so...lol

Is there anyway to deactive ESP "manually" in the settings with a killer ninja combo?

Because in front of the ESP button is a magnetic plate GLUED to hold the taxmeter and prevent from taking it off. And for all the haters: here in snowy conditions it is sometimes better to take off esp in order to get out of a snowpile. So not only drifting in mind...

Thanks.

ESP button only restricts the car's ability to control the throttle...

Go into the engineering menu and turn on dyno mode if you really want everything off

Those two things mentioned are not something you'd find in the manual. MB doesn't want people knowing how to access those menus.
To access dyno mode to fully disable ESP, there's a button combination you need to do. However, dyno mode fully disables ESP, ABS, BAS, and your power steering. In other words, it's not safe to drive the car this way especially with other people in it (since it's a taxi). So I won't tell you how to activate this mode. If you really want to know how to do it, you can search for it as it's been covered many times on this forum.
