This is my first car with an automatic gearbox and having read about brake torqeuing on this forum I have been trying it out.
I've done a couple of starts with DSC enabled which went great - actually got brief wheelspin immediately followed by a VERY hard start - nice
After reading znods posts in particular about runs with DSC off I thought I would give it a go today.
The roads were lovely and dry so I picked a likely spot and pulled up on a 60mph 'b' road.
I brake torqued to 2000rpm (so I would have all 500nm ready to go) - then lifted off and simultaneously floored the accelerator.
Instead of tearing off into the sunset - my car stayed absolutely still whilst the back wheels span and the RPM needle shot straight up to the red-line and stayed there for 2-3 seconds.
In the end I just eased off the gas and gently pulled away......
Thank god no-one was watching

I did a brake torque today and the rear end slid a little to the right. 
After a couple of brake torque, my brakes momentarily squeezes too.

Good one. I imagine you were pretty impressive. I wish I could have seen the show. Not surprising in a torquemiester like the 535d.
I imagine that the 535d would sit there spinning the wheels all day - until the tyres caught fire
As regards 'seeing the show' I would have felt better if I had MEANT to do it - but it's a cool trick anyway
