Keep in mind it likely still has some pressure on the clutches in the case meaning you are likely causing wear, but it isn't actuating more power to the front wheels to compensate for oversteer... hence, drifting! As much as I LOVE drifting, the X5 isn't really set up for it. And keep in mind that after you do this you will have fault codes in numerous drivetrain and suspension control modules that can only be cleared with BMW testers (GT1).

But before you plug it back in and clear the codes... try to get a really good video of drifting, figure 8's, donuts, etc...!

:iagree: :thumbup:

Bro, donuts are impossible with an x5 as it will flip over :P

However i will try to get you some good vid's as soon as possible, then plug them forever before i spoil my baby =)

It won't flip over doing donuts, it doesn't have a ridiculously high-center of gravity

There was a video from the Uk Fith Gear show which had Tiff taking a 4.8is sideways around a race track.
