Can the X5 235i M sport do a burn out?

[citznfish]

I tried and failed.

Traction systems off. Tried power braking it to get the rear wheels to spin. nada.

It will be pretty difficult since it is all wheel drive..

also 35i, not 235i

Oooh, I should clarify. I have the sDrive.

[Kzang]

Well in that case.... It shouldn't be hard. Shifter to the left, put in sport and turn off traction. Hold brakes and Rev em up. Have you tried Launch control? Not sure if this would help since technically this feature is suppose to help you take off quickly, so that means without spinning the wheels.

On my xDrive, I was able to loosen up the rear wheels several time and it actually barked a few times as well. I also have MPPK and Racechip tune installed for more power though.

That's what I tried. Never had a vehicle that couldn't do a burnout, but i also never owned an SUV before.

I haven't tried launch control because the manual stated that the car needs 1200 miles on it before attempting to use it the first time. I definitely do plan on trying out this feature.

I may look into the tuning.

Thanks!

If you are hesitant to do launch control before 1200 miles You may want to put a burnout into that category as well.

Do all X5s have launch control? I thought just Ms got that?

No, but all can have launch control via coding.

Really? I didn't know that

Yes. I have X-line and coded launch control and sport+.

Are the instructions in the coding thread? I don't I have seen that

Did your steering wheel come with paddle shifters? Another forum member had problems adding 2TB in his FA for the Sport+ feature.

[Kzang]

Paddle shifters are only standard on Msport cars. Unfortunately, that can't be coded However.. you can purchase one and install it and then code it to work.

What's interesting is I have Luxury, coded, but I still don't see LC and Sport+ modes.

He probably replaced his stock steering with an msport steering. That's the only thing I can think of.

BTW, I coded SAT and launch control on my xline.

Yes they are in the coding thread. They may be buried in there. Opasha tested the code on my car.

You should have it if you did the coding.

How'd you do it Chem? One of our members are getting all sorts of errors. Please enlighten us.

No. Stock as I mentioned above. Yes we had issues initially with this as well. The Sport+ would show up in my extended display screen but we couldn't select it. If I get a chance I will dig up the thread and let you know what we did. Its been about a year since we went through the troubleshooting.
