burn out problems
I have a slightly modified 99 E55 (exhaust and chip). Always when ESP is off and I do a burn out, both my tires spin. But now something is wrong. It only spins on the right wheel. Anybody know why?

The only way both tires would spin with ESP off is if neither had traction. Power is shifting back and forth between the left and right sides so quickly it "appears" that both are spinning at the same time.
If you want to get both to spin, try the nice slick asphalt surface common in parking lots. My 00 E55 will appear to spin both tires everytime in this situation, but with a decent surface - rough asphalt or concrete, only one will spin.
Next time you do "spin both wheels" go back to the area, and check out the marks closely; You'll see the marks aren't really the same. One tire did in fact have more traction, and it was the other that spun.
