There's nothing more pleasant than seeing a big luxury car going sideways.

i love to drift....i try not to do it in the 5 but it'll happen occasionally...however, i would have to put my vote for the best drift car in the AE86 Carolla...yes Carolla..check them out sometime....but for now....the real drift king would have to be Ken Block of the Subaru team...if you have 7 minutes check out this Gymkhana practice video with him driving.

I do it way too much around my town. My tires are so shot and my neighbors hate me. Between the launches and drifts, this car is bad, bad news.

Fine. Actually, when I take my car in and they plug my key fob into the computer, they can see how many launches I've done thus far on the car. My dealership is awesome. I've blown a bunch of O2 sensors on my M since I have all aftermarket under the hood and underside. They knew it and didn't care. They told BMW NA it was stock, replaced the parts, fixed my car in a day and it was all free. A lot of the M owners in my town go to this same dealer and all of them have highly modified cars (non-Dinan). The dealer doesn't care. They get paid from BMW based on what they tell them. Gotta love it.
