Stand still burnout

[Shaddyy]

Is it even possible for a dct m3 to do a stand still burnout? I tried many ways but it just seems to launch everytime

What happens when you turn off traction control, put your foot on the brake, and floor the accelerator?

A line lock (or two) that locks only the front brakes is ideal since doing what I wrote above involves overwhelming the rear brakes. Typically, overwhelming the rear brakes does no harm if it is not done for long.

The more people that beat on their M3s the less clean and sorted ones there will be for resale which will drive values up. Let's give the man what he wants!

This is stuff most of us learned in high school in a $1200 car, so, I hope for your car's sake, your not now just getting it out of your system.

I haven't tried, but surely you can turn DSC off and power-break. (Putting your foot on the brake enough to lock the front wheels but not the back) and hitting the gas. Your back tires will break loose.

The alternative would be turning DSC off and dialing the transmission up to 5/6 and mashing the throttle, your car will rev to 6k RPM or so and dump the clutch/clutches, you'll launch with the back tires loose, just need to be quick to the brake pedal (Or maybe have your foot on the brake already, not sure haven't tried this).

I learned how to do all of this crap on a $650 1986 318i I bought in high school in like 1999.

If its not possible i wouldnt try to do it. And are BE bearings good? And i've seen people use 5w-55 on the S65. Is it better for the S65 or is it just about the same

I tried doing the suggested above whenever I bought my M3 and my car would cut throttle. Tried Mashing the gas so it revs to 6k and drops, cuts throttle. Tried holding brake and stepping on gas and all it does is rev up til I let go of my brake to launch.

It's probably possible but hell, I haven't even used launch control on my DCT a single time

I had a rental Dodge Challenger RT a few weeks back. I did around 50 burnouts on that thing, it was nonstop. Note it doesn't seem to have a LSD and the rear tires and shit compount and 255 width.

The M3 is meant to go forward, so it has a good LSD and lots of mechanical grip with high quality tires. To do a burnout will subject it to massive stress as it is not meant to do that stuff

[Shaddyy]

Wonder if i should worry bout my bearings. Changed my oil about 2k5 miles back and didnt send it to blackstone. Isnt 2011 m3s changed to a different type of bearings?

[pbonsalb]

Bearing material changed in 2011 due to EU lead rules. However, motors with later bearings seem to have as many bearing issues as earlier bearings. There is no way to know the condition of your bearings without looking at them, unless perhaps you have owned the car from new and done regular oil analysis.

Same here. Good to see I'm not the only boring bugger Syt.

Cheers

Fact: every single thread on this forum will devolve into a rod bearing discussion by the end of page 1.

You need a line lock to do a burnout the car won’t stand there.

That kid looked like he was about to puke when he saw the piston lying on the ground in oil. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

Wait, E9x M3 has launch control??? F’n A man, F’n A

Haha, yeah I know, been tempted to try it out but didn't come around yet. Maybe this Spring prior new rear tires!

[pbonsalb]

DCT do, but not 6MT though some aftermarket tunes include it. Any performance car enthusiast should go to the dragstrip at least once and go to a driving school at least once.

[bigjae1976]

You can't. The car has too much power and there's no way to dump the clutch on a DCT.

Burnouts are just hard on tires and the motor. If the wheels are slipping then the diff just stays locked which actually induces less wear than locking and unlocking the diff.

1. Turn off DSC
2. Put the transmission in sport, level 5 or 6
3. Mash the throttle.

The engine will rev to about 6,000 RPM and the clutch will engage hard, sending you off like a rocket while cooking the back tires.

I've done it twice. It's therapeutic.

Exactly. If you're taking off limped a rocket you're not at a standstill.

Yes- but it's just like dumping the clutch on a manual... however, you can more easily hit your brake with your left foot. On a manual you've got to feather the throttle while breaking with your right foot.

The point was, you can dump the clutch on a DCT. When you mash the gas as outlined above. The car won't move until you hit 6k RPM and your clutch "disengages" - from a mechanical and physics perspective it's identical to dumping the clutch on a manual, only the computer does it rather than you sliding your foot off the clutch pedal.

What you do with your right and left foot is up to the user

For what it's worth, I didn't know the car could do this. One night I was playing around in a deserted industrial park and turned DSC off and dialed the DCT up and mashed the throttle, the RPMs raced and the car didn't move, i thought for a fraction of a second my clutches were toast then I was catapulted forward haha

There's something to dumping the clutch I just don't want to do on the M. But I will join the club and try it once regardless come spring lol.
