Re: 360'S (archive)

Sorry for not responding to your other post. I bought the car with 84k for about $23k, which included warranty and new tires. I had the car compression/leakdown tested at 100K, and readings were perfect across the board. I got the car dynoed around 150k, and once again perfect numbers to what BMW says it is supposed to do - AMAZINGLY MADE CARS!! I listed before the extra mods that I have done to the car, none of which is rebuilding or tearing apart the engine! I still have yet to dyno the car with the new chip, but I hope it says 340HP like they are advertised.

IF YOU DON'T DRIVE YOUR M5 HARD OR HATE TO HEAR PEOPLE BEING HARD ON THEIR CARS, STOP READING NOW!!

Anyways, now that I got the disclaimer out of the way ;) A great way to power break the car is to turn your right foot sideways, using your heel to hold the brake TO THE FLOOR, and then using your toes to push on the gas (usually redline at first, but you will get better at doing this so you don't have to redline) While you are doing all of this, have the clutch pushed in and in gear, and then let the clutch fast enough to catch, but not necessarily drop. WARNING: You might burn the clutch doing this the first time, but once again, you will get better with practice. Try doing this stuff in AN EMPTY PARKING LOT BY YOURSELF LATE AT NIGHT. IF you have gotten the tires to spin at this point, you can try and let your foot off the gas so your not bouncing off of the rev limiter, and if you get even better, slightly let your heel off of the brake pedal, and the car will move forward. AGAIN, EMPTY PARKING LOT! IF you get good at moving the car while doing all of this, then you are ready to advance. The only way I have been able to do good 360's is having the wheel turned, rolling forward slowly, and then punching the gas. If you get oversteer (front turns, not back), then try again with the wheel turned, but don't have the car moving. Redline the car, drop the clutch, and get ready for a ride! I have had my car for over 2 years now, and I still haven't perfected the 360's, but straight line burnout's are a breeze!
