How easy is it to chirp your rear tires with a 535i Sports Auto Trans from 1st gear to 2nd? And the the 535i have enough torque to do the same from 2nd to 3rd gear?
Also in order to chirp the tires would I need to turn off DSC?
Just curious.

I did manage to chirp my tires going from 1st to 2nd one time, the roads where wet, DSC off. Here's what I did: DSC off, 50% gas in 1st until I could feel the car get traction, then 80% gas, then take my foot off the gas, engage 2nd gear, slam foot on the gas - chirp tires. Keep in mind that this is REALLY bad for the transmission. You cannot treat an auto like a manual.

wont happen on dry pavement, wont chirp on wet pavement. wont happen.
krozi, you are doing something wrong. i dont know much about the 545 though. i know with DSC off my car is a dog until about 2500-2800 RPMs, but once those turbos spool up, my rear tires just spin in first on dry pavement. i also have shitty RFTs though.

You know that if you press the DTC button for 3 seconds DSC is inactive right? It says on the iDrive screen.

With DSC all the way off I can't even chirp my tires from a dig because I get so much traction from the hot rubber on Florida roads.
The only way I can break my car loose is if I am running 4500k RPM in first gear and then punch it (with DSC inactive).
