I had a 1990 Mustang LX 5.0. No car I have ever owned before or since could smoke the tires the way that that car could. That car specialized in laying down rubber. And when I drove that car in my early twenties, I did a lot of that.

My view is simple. During the time of the lease, I am paying for the use of the car so I can drive it any way I want during the lease's term.
you can't do whatever you want. That's why there is an annual mileage restriction and you are responsible for damages etc.
I believe on the lease contract somewhere stats beyond "normal wear and tear" you will have to pay to fix/recondition the car.
When your lease is up and when the tech test drives the car and the tranny is slamming/rough when changing its gears etc, you will be screwed as at the end of 3 year lease, that's not the normal behavior at that age/mileage. Remember, abusing a car and driving spiritually are two different things.

I don't think so. Lease is another word for a long term renting a property/equipment/autos etc. The property you are leasing is not yours meaning

Frank had issues with slamming in his 550i as did a BUNCH of other people. And as I recall, Craig also had a slamming issue on his 535i...

I guess I should've read all pages. I just hate to read people abusing leased cars(but now I get it what Scott meant by 'anyway I want').
Unfortunately, I can't delete/edit my previous reply.

Brake torquing from a stop is not my normal lauch style but I've done it occassionally on all my car (all have had auto trans). My transmissions have always held up during my leases and I always bring the car in for regular services and have always had all mechanical problems fixed ASAP when I found them. I don't do neutral drops. If you brake torque the transmission occassionally, it will be fine. Driving the car hard but within its performance envelope is not a violation of the lease. Running at high rpms will shorten the engine and tranmission life somewhat but doing so is not a violation of the lease.

What am I thinking? 
Anyway, I was referring to a slamming upshifts to next gear but honestly, I'm not sure if 550AT had upshifts issues.
So I'll take back my words
Could be, I read the first page then skip to page 4 then I replied.
