I only did it once. And then I tried it countless times and never made it again.

could it be that your car rolled forward a few feet before you were able to lock it down and continue the burnout?

Has anyone tried doing this in manual mode? This is assuming manual mode is available on the W-213

Manual mode?

I tried it in Drift Mode.

Not sure how to make it more manual than that.

kponti

I am unfamiliar with the transmission settings on the W213. On the W212, there is a manual mode past the sport plus mode.
I just found out yesterday (after damn near 4 plus years with this car) that I could do a standing burnout, only in manual mode though
Maybe Racemode?

E634Me

There is a manual transmission mode selection button on the center console. This button must be activated in order to enter drift mode. The traction control must be off, and the car set to race mode. Once all that is done, drift mode can be selected.

The car is pretty much manual then . . .

kponti

pretty much is

Cool, how was this accomplished? So far no one else seems to have found the right formula.

Just start moving quickly with drift mode, let it go for a foot or so and push brake not hard but not too gentle and it will do burnout. When you will start to push brake you will understand how to do it really quick.

kponti

Just what I thought. I saw in the few videos of burnouts that you have to let the car move a few feet before it works.
My W212 does the same thing (albeit some do it without moving forward)

E634Me

So really a rolling burnout that got turned into a standing burnout?

Mandarin

it's not a rolling burnout since you're standing and not moving forward. Watch the video it's been posted early in this threat.

E634Me

I'm confused - if you roll you're not stopped/standing.

Seems like it's still true that the car will not do a standing burnout. It requires some forward movement before the wheelspin starts, then by tapping the brakes the forward movement is slowed or stopped.

It's mainly academic to me as I mostly got over doing burnouts in my teens, but never lost the desire to do the occasional power slide ;-)

My front tires are about done at 9,000 miles but I think I can stretch them another thousand or so. Oddly the rears have more tread remaining than the fronts. When it's time to slap on a set of Michelins and get rid of the Pirellis, I will happily engage drift mode and send the remaining rear tread to tire heaven

Rolling burnout:

Standing burnout:


e63s burnout (I did the same):

Powerslides should be easy to do. But you described the burnouts exactly, you do require forward movement before you can lock the front wheels and continue to light up the rears on this car

Reviving this thread to see if anyone has any additional tips on getting this rolling/standing burnout to work. I can't seem to get the rear tires to break loose like shown in these vids. Is this all in first gear?

Put it in 1st gear, turn off all the traction control, hold the brakes just hard enough to activate the front brakes and not the rear (most brakes are biased 70/30) and it's kind of a balance between pushing the throttle to initiate wheelspin and pushing the brake just enough to keep the car from moving forward.

I wonder what rear CCB wear will be like doing a brake-burnout.
