rather than just start a new thread, go to e55 (w211) section.
there is a whole thread with multiple pages with experienced members giving tips on launch!
give that a try first!

yeah like ShangoAshe said..e-class guys track their car alot...more than us ..so they know alots more..

make sure you in dyno mode... put it in "auto sport" burn out..lol.. line up, hold the brake..punch the gas lightly until you feel the car rolling and got traction. then wot throttle.

good luck oncoming trackday bro...make sure you get it on video...
