Turning off the ACS-T

CMGO · #1 (**permalink**) 07-13-2003, 04:46 PM

I recently bought a 98 M3. I LOVE this car. I have an 87 Porsche 944S as well so I am used to fast stable cars.

My M3 has the ACS-T and it seems to work even if I have the button off. I want to get some oversteer action on! I want to get some wheel spin once and awhile...

What is the problem? Should the traction control and engine braking continue when the ACS-T light is off? I don't notice TOO much difference between the two.

I am VERY happy with the car, I have had a few little races street and highway, but no top end runs. I schooled a 911 one morning, it was a 97 or so. He was a very unhappy Porsche driver.

It handles like its on rails, I haven't taken it on track or auto cross yet so I have yet to test it's handling limits. I of course take most ramps until the tires start to sing, but I haven't made them howl yet...

Oh yeah, I can bring the RPM's up to 5K, drop the clutch and the tires won't spin, the engine just slows down and then the car goes off at a nice pace. 3 grand drops get it going nicely.

I think I need to learn the car better. I also suspect I need a software upgrade for my E36. Any tips of help would be appreciated.

When the yellow light is on your asc is off.Try this turn car on and press the asc button and gun it.

i think ur mistaking for when its on/off.... traction control is always on when u start the car when u push the acs button and you see the acs light up then ur traction control is off and u have all the fun u want

The wool is lifted from my eyes and I see!!!

After work today, hell maybe even on lunch I am going out to have a bit of wheelspin action!

Thanks all!
