My 2005 e55 can't burn tires.
 
when I turn off the esp, I want to warm up the tires, but the motor does not pick up speed. which block is responsible for this?

Motor mounts could be shot.

Are you brake stalling?

You have to put the car in Dyno mode. Search and you will be rewarded.
I hope you have some spare change for the potential damage to your car. Several videos out there when the E55 goes sideways and into the weeds.
There was one fellow, I cannot recall his handle, that had a drift car that he custom built. If you search you might find it. Hopefully, others will chime in on this thread. He had an awesome drift car and he put a lot of time and effort into it.

Can e55's get tcu tunes to help do burnouts?

E55Greasemonkey Mar 4, 2023 09:30 PM

2005-2006 won't allow burnouts. 2003-2004 will. Something was changed in the ESP programming on those later years. Do a search, this has been covered before.

no, it's not convenient for me in dyno mode. I need to warm up the half-slicks before starting.

extra change is needed for those who do not know how to drive a car!

dyno mode is the only way.

I think that this is not the only way. Perhaps replacing the esp block will help.

UncleBenz55 Mar 5, 2023 07:52 AM

I think it's TCU related. Do you have the stock transmission control unit?

I have also heard this interesting enough though my 2006 still on a stock tcu let's me do burnouts with esp off.

BMW Owner Mar 6, 2023 06:05 PM

Then in this case I would look for dead horses.

E55Greasemonkey Mar 6, 2023 06:13 PM

Alex are you using the ESP off switch?

Highline-Autos.com Mar 6, 2023 06:24 PM

My '01 E55 can't stop burning tires and breaking loose... any suggestions?

indeed. There was a short while where my ESP wasn’t working at all on my CLS55 because of a faulty wheel speed sensor, and so the car had no ESP, ABS, or power steering. I drove the car that way for about 3 months.

One morning, on my way to work, it wasn’t raining but the roads were relatively wet. I was sitting at a stop light and as soon as the light turned green, I slowly rolled into the gas and started to roll into it harder. At about 3500 rpm, the rear wheels completely gave and my car did a full U turn into the opposite lane of traffic. Luckily there was no barrier in the middle of the road or cars coming. Managed to counter steer and didn’t slide into the curb. Man, that was embarrassing.

I have not tested this with working ESP, however tomorrow morning I will turn ESP off and try it. Because my E550 wouldn’t burn tires either with ESP off. Didn’t seem like a lack of power but rather the electronics were preventing it from doing so.

yes. it interferes with the electronics. the fuel supply is reduced when your foot is on the brake pedal

W126AMG Mar 10, 2023 01:36 PM

Curious on the desire to do burnouts. Is this a drag strip reason o warm up tires before a run? .

JohnLane Mar 10, 2023 11:19 PM

Hmmm.... I never had issues painting stripe in my ratty ‘06 E55. Turn the fun police off and be careful to not throw the car away.
