To each his own I guess...

Some of the guys on here like to go to Home Depot on Saturdays, buy some wallpaper, maybe get some flooring, stuff like that. Maybe bed bath and Beyond..

Some of us like to smoke OUR FU*king tires and have some fun once in a while/ or always/or go streaking..

Tell me you guys know what I'm taking about... bahaha

Guys, SteveC is actually a good guy and a respected M5 owner, but he lives in the U.K. where the laws are very more restrictive than other places in Europe or the United States. I can understand his viewpoint and I've definitely had my fun in multiple M5's that I've owned, but I've gotten all of the stupid stuff out my system now and would only have fun if the risks were low. Generally people who like to do stuff like in the video I shared don't have anything to prove, but it sure looks cool and is fun without putting anybody in danger, unlike most Mustang owners these days. The fact is that the M5 and M6 are gentlemans race cars and doing burnouts isn't the norm but they are cars perfectly capable of doing stuff like that for fun too. Anyways, I hope all of you are enjoying your M5's and M6's and I hope to see more videos of safe fun.

I've never done burnouts in any of my cars. Not my style. I like my tires too much. But I do go to the road courses and run folks in Mexico. To each their own. I do know a few guys who have m3 who tear it up like that though. It's fun watching them

Actually my idea of real fun, before I got a little too old, was taking an open class dirt bike and riding it as fast as I could through Southern Africa's finest offroad terrain. Nothing like blasting through dried up river beds, navigating winding mountain trails, drifting though wide open dirt road bends in 5th gear slides. or riding berms with a rooster tail out back. Other weekends we'd have the Breakfast Run, where we'd pilot our 1000cc Kawas, Hondas, Suzukis, Bimotas, BMWs etc. through twisting canyons and mountain roads to meet with other enthusiasts and enjoy a hearty breakfast. For several seasons I raced the local Moto Cross and 2 day trial Circuits, taking as much pleasure in preparing the bikes as I did riding them.

Unfortunately time passes and all that is in the past. I now live in the UK and I'm down to getting up before everyone else so I can drive fast cars how they were meant to be driven along deserted B roads. Still fun, albeit not as much (although the Z4M came close with the roof down and the loud button pushed). We do several driving trips a year to the Black Forest, the Alps and Western Scotland, to enjoy some of Europe's finest roads.

Because I enjoy driving fast and driving well, I'm someone who likes to keep his cars and bikes in tip top condition. They are often filthy but the tyres are always at the right pressure, the windscreen clean and there's no clutter inside to mar the driving experience. Oil is always on full, coolant regularly checked, battery in good condition, so when I go out for a 'drive' I can be 100% confident in my machinery. For years my life depended on it and still does.

The idea of taking that machine, turning the steering full lock (so all the power is pushing against and trying to bend the suspension and steering arms), switching off traction control, redlining the motor against no resistance then burning the tyres to the point the rubber melts and potentially loses its ability to grip is anathema for me and honestly seems to be about the lamest way I can imagine of having fun with a high performance car. The car is designed to offer superb on-the-limit handling. Where is the fun in compromising that by potentially damaging a number of essential components?

I agree with the idiom 'To each his own', so if you want to destroy your tyres, knock yourself out. But as I stated in my original post, its not for me. I want my car in perfect shape so the next time I push it to the limit there's no nagging doubt about any damage I may have done by doing something the car was never designed for.

The burn out footage just justifies why no-one should use valet parking. Just make sure any passenger has his seat belt on !

I have done this "stupid" stuff in plenty of rentals. Heck my profile pic on facebook was me doing an insane burnout in a 350Z. I chuckle when I see it now - won't do this in my cars now (well maybe sometimes ;-)) but I totally see Steve's point. Are these cars status symbol - yes; are these cars gentleman's racer - yes; Uber luxury - yes; baby carriers - yes; insane donut machines - yes. None of this is mutually exclusive but the beauty of this car is that's its all encompassing. Steve, Others - Chastising anyone that they use it for only some purposes and not for all, or for purposes other than what you use it for - is well just narrow sighted. To each how they may use it! Its the ultimate gentleman's "gone rogue" car IMO.

Hope your R8 is coming along nicely!

So M cars are only to be redlined and burn tires?

If that's your definition of a M car, then i wuld say it's you who bought the wrong car.
I wish BMW goes ALL AUDI on you specifically and sells you cars only with xdrive, otherwise get a Mustang.


Much respect for Steve!

No one said "only". You used "only" twice without a hint of reference to that in this thread.

Back to the drawing board I guess for you?

You have said that someone bought a wrong car because he won't do a burnout, you have not stated any other reason, but ONLY because of a burnout.

Makes sense to you?

Anyways i'm not looking for an argument nice talking to you. .
