How does the ASR system work in a 500E? There is a '93 500E w/37K miles for sale for $37K in my area. I have always wanted one and will go take a look at it when work permits. But I want to be able to smoke the tires at will just like in my 4-speed 240D(well, use your imagination). I read my C36 also has ASR. But I don't know what it does because the car spins the tires with ease. I installed 225/50-16 Continental ContiTouring Contact CH95 All-Season Tires on the C36(for slow city driving only, obviously) and what fun! It's as if I gained 50hp. The car will easily spin the tires and now there's real on-demand oversteer at hand. ASR is supposed to slow a spinning tire by applying the brakes or reducing engine torque. Is my broken? Is yours? And when I buy the 500E, which wire do I cut to disconnect ASR? I surely don't need traction control where I live!
