E55 will not do a burn-out.
I have an '06 E55 that will NOT do a burnout.. I'm so confused.
I can spin tires no problem, but when I try to warm the tires up, it won't let me and just pushes the front wheels.
I've done many burnouts in the car before, one of them being in my sig at the track!!
I was even able to "drift" my car through an entire parking lot without any issues.
Now all of a sudden, I can't do one at all lol.
And yes, ESP is off.

My 05 has the same problem.put car in m1 and brake with left foot and slam the throttle and it will spin for a second and bog and kill throttle.
I can do a burn out all the way down my street with my brothers 04 e55 when he had it.
Its the late 05s and all 06s that have this problem and my car is very picky on tire sizes also

You HAVE to put the 06's in dyno mode for a full complete burnout. The tranny cuts power and it goes into limp mode. The cars manual even says not to power brake for fear of damage to the transmission.
I have an 06 now and there is no way around it. My 04 never had that problem either.

Guys, he is saying that his car used to do it and now it doesn't. There is obviously something wrong. Does the car accelerate normally?
I don't understand this comment though...
Can you, or can't you do a burn out?

)
Still not sure how that is relevant, but okay.. Do you recommend not going to college or something. I really dont understand what your fascination with me is.. Go ride someone elses dick
