Nice dialog, it sounds like you guys were from BMW technical support, and the M3 guy was just making a phone call because the car won't move

Does BMW have technical support like hardware companies ?

You know, I'm not so sure they do, not like a place you can call to ask how you can burnout. In the end though, even if he can't get the car to burnout, just be happy you have an M3, and leave it at that.

Tavaru, why are you always hidden?

Sorry, I didn't realize that I have selected the "don't show my online status" option. I disabled it now.

It's okay, anyone who wants to be invisable can be. I just wondered.

You're refering to the clutch disc. A worn disc is possible since this would qualify as a wear item, but Tekz claims that his car performs fine in everyway. Worn out items in the transmission is something you would tend to notice.

It wouldn't hurt to have this checked out though.

Tekz,

I have a 97' with the same experience. The car has more a slipping or spinning feel as if it were on water rather than a burnout. The ASC is actually off when the light is on.

My M3 has an RMS supercharger and intercooler. The RMS software permanently shuts off the ASC. It helps but the car still doesn't burnout. I switched to Khumo V700 tires which help traction alot but still no screaming starts.

Release the break, and off you go in a cloud of smoke.

Off you go with a worn/broken clutch and tranny parts if you do it to much.

Have you changed out your motor mounts to PU motor mounts that are firmer? Sounds like you are getting a serious case of wheel hop instead of burning out or squawling your tires.
