Of course DSC and DTC were off, otherwise you cannot do that.

Even with my e60 520i I succeed in making a beautifull donuts.

of course with the DTC and DSC off.

It's no that you can do this with just pressing the trottle pedal, that only works with an M5.

the technique:

take a area where are no trees, cars or other objects that you may hit.

Just pull up strongly in a straith line let say 30 meters, let go of the throttlepedal, then suddenly turn the steeringwheel hard and inmediatly push the throttle-pedal down.

If you are very good in this, turn the steeringwheel the other way while you are making the donut, than the frontwheels of the car stay more into one place.

success.

Ya that'll work. When you let off the gas that throws the cars weight towards the front giving less traction on the rear tires and once you turn and get back on the gas there'll be enough power to break loose that tiny bit of traction thats left in the rear.

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?
I think I liked the "old" Rudy better. Very funny though!

Much easier to light up new tires than bald ones

Will just pressing the throttle work on a measily 545? NO I'm not going to try that. I still like my expensive Dunlops thank you.

True but weight transfer to the front applies more when lifting off in a corner than in a straight line. In a straight line if you lift off there is barely any weight transfer to the front, the center of the car tends to balance itself from the weight transfered to the back while under heavy acceleration. In a corner that's smth different because you have the centrifugal force (hope i got the term right) and that is the main help to get the back end loose from lift off. But for that centrifugal force to help, one has to really push it in the bends = rise the level of that force.
