I tried to do a bad ass burn out in my 545i and I slipped the clutch because I didn't aggressively engage the clutch. same as you probably. After that I slammed into it again and the clutch held great. That was the last time I did any burnouts and my clutch feels fine with no slippage on everyday driving. I had 78k miles on the original clutch at the time.

neutral dropping is only on automatics. He clearly stated that his car has a clutch. Automatics have a torque converter with a hydraulic push rod thing lol. He should be fine doing burnouts. I don't think BMW designed the manual transmission to fail before either the clutch slips or the tires break static friction and burnout.
