You will want to use Acceleration Assist. Hold the DSC/DTC button for more than three seconds so it disables all of the nannies. Floor it and woowho!

Back to the OP like you said its a 530 so don't expect miracles. At 225HP and the weight of the 530 its walking a fine line of being underpowered.

Do the US spec 530's only have 225HP? I thought UK spec cars have over 270HP?
