Not that I've tried it but I doubt you'd be able to pull that off on dry asphalt with a 530...

What transmission do you have?

Cool! I wouldn't have guessed you could do that. Were the tires bald or did they have good tread? That may be the difference here...

Sorry Rudy but i disagree on this. Even though thread wear has some impact on this, it won't really decide if the 530i can or cannot do donuts, i mean it's too much to say smth like this. It's not a 316i.
