Just posting for future searchers.

Jerks at putfile.com took my other one off on TOS. Whatever. Like I am instructing people how to kill or something.

Here's how to get your car into dyno mode. Works for E55's but not sure about other models. I think some are a little different here and there.

Link's not working.

Link works for me.

Yeah had to use MS Explorer, Firefox wouldn't work for me.

stupid question...what do you gain by doing this?
thanks...

Jrocket

Used mainly for chassis dyno runs.Some use it at the track as well,myself included.

Bay Area User

i will be at the track this wednesday.. what do you get out of using it? will it take you your hp... times? etc?
I'm gonna go activate it right now and practice

AMGfan

thanks again for the vid...

Jrocket

Doesnt help with any of that.I use it so the ESP cant kick in at all.

What is the difference between this method, and just turning off the ESP?

pressing the esp off button doesn't completely disengage esp...it's still on, just at a much more lenient setting. dyno mode completely disables it.

i wouldn't bother running in dyno mode unless track prep is above average and you don't have to worry about wheel spin or you need to do a looooong burnout to heat up certain types of drag radials (like the mickey t's). i guess it'a also good for artwork in empty parking lots.

Is it me or does Jakpro have a sexy voice....

This works on my 07 E63 too! Thanks. I can finally drift corners....WAHOO!!!!!!

in many cases the ecu won't allow prolonged driving in dyno mode. it will lock the transmission and prevent it from shifting until you shut off dyno mode.

Schiznick

Really? I drove for 2 weeks in dyno mode with no issues.....

chiromikey

i said..."in many cases"...not all cases. there are plenty of people (including myself) that have had their transmission stick in one gear while trying to drive in dyno mode for prolonged periods. ymmv.

Either way I will report my findings. If it lets me slang it all around, I will video my dumb *** playing with it. I'll just hit Las Vegas Blvd. and swoop a couple hotties for my camera crew.
