Cool video of a M5. Check out the footage about 2:40mins into it.<ul><li><a href="http://home.online.no/~g-skaala/bmwm5.wmv">M5</a></li></ul>

Default Harbor A6 was more literate.

Of course an AWD car sucks at "drifting." But Datsun B210, or Chevy Chevette? Those cars, and of course the M5, are mad drifters.

Default it could if they didn't decide to put quattro on it...and they put it on so idiots that tried

stupid ****e like that (that didn't know how to handle a car) didn't end up in a tree. Why would you want to waste your tyres like that anyway?

Default LOL! My first used car was a B210 hatch...

complete with the black louvers over the hatch window, 4 speed manual, and the reverse "beep". It was just awesome LOL!!!

Got it for $250 from the dealer I worked at for 3 years. Figured it would be a good beater. Gave it to my sister after she learned how to drive a stick shift. We got 2 years out of that sucker before it blew a gasket, then straight to the junkyard.

Default The video is cool

Too bad the E60 M5, like the rest of the E60/E61 5 Series cars, are ultra ugly pieces of sh*t with enough quality and reliability problems to make any Audi, old and new, seem like a Toyota/Lexus by comparison.

Default Thank God it can't! Nor can a typical BMW "d!ckhead" driver. Does this car have the broken

directional feature that all BMW's come with? I know it can't be the driver that fails to use his/her directional all the time.

Default No, it's got too much traction. It corners like a street car, not a dirt track car...

I for one do not understand the 'coolness' of drifting.. all it takes is tons of power, and no traction. yippie. sounds fun to me! Wasting all of that power on wheelspin. stupid.

Default I'm with you. I can appreciate that there is some skill involved in holding a car...

... in a long drift, balancing throttle and steering. But it also takes skill to pump out a septic system or fry a hamburger.

I just don't find it interesting nor impressive.

I have the same issue with trick skateboarding. So you can flip a skateboard up onto a railing and slide down the railing. OK. It looks awkward, and it accomplishes nothing. I find zero entertainment in it (drifting and skateboarding).
