I have an 06 550i and its fun as S..T to drift in a big open parking lot!!! 
Make sure to hold in your DSC button for about three seconds and it will turn off everthing that helps keep you in a straight line...I ditched the run flats for proxes T1R and have not 1 regret!!! Have fun happy donuts

Have had my 07 550i for 2 months now and have yet to floor it. I've floored every other bimmer I've had but am scared to do so for some reason with this one!
I can only spin them if my steering wheel is turned, if the steering wheel is pointed straight, very hard to spin them. I think that I lose too much power where I live, it is almost 7000 ft above sea level or something wrong with my car.

When I found out that BMW was buying me four new rft's, thanks again Rudy, I roasted the hell out of them with the traction stuff completely off in front of our house. Kids loved it, wife hated it, and the home owner's association sent me a letter. There are few things in life that give such sweet satisfaction as this.
