My first fish-tail with X5M ! !

mhkm · 06-20-2015, 10:32 AM

So here's what happened...

The beast has been running better than ever these past few days, and I decided to put my M settings on M dynamic. I came up to a U-turn and punched it, and Holy Smokes ! the tail end swung out with the rear tires chirping all the way ! ! I nearly freaked out as this is the first time this has ever happened, and I really missed doing it ever since I gave the 335i to my son ! ! !

Yippeeee Yiii Yaaayyyy ! !

And this is still in "Efficient" setting ! !

Congrats! I had an e46 m3, but it has been all AWD cars since.

It honestly scares me to floor this thing in the city. You are at "put me in jail" speeds in no time.

Precisely correct and well put !

I have to agree with you guys... The first time the X slid out from underneath me, I almost crapped my pants. Of course, the story goes like this... I was exiting my neighborhood, and I saw a guy blow by in a Ferrari 430. I figured I would chase him down. So, we played a little, and I got a little throttle heavy exiting a roundabout near the house. A full lateral slide, countersteer, the whole nine yards... I was shocked, but I think only just a little more than the guy right in front of me in the 430.

Needless to say, these things are FUN!
