do you do burnouts?

[325ix]

no, not once, not ever. it's just stupid and pointless. like drifting. ;)

but doing a burn out is different than dropping the clutch and launching hard. I do that sometimes (but rarely).

That's because IX's don't do burnouts. ;) They just launch like a bat outta hell!

[RickSloan]

no never...

[Conki]

No burnouts here. I find them completely pointless, waste of rubber.
U-turns on the other hand...:D
I just cant turn around without kicking the tail out a bit. I must.

Not when they are your wife! Hahaha

Hhmmm... My wife giggled like a schoolgirl in my 3.7 liter M30 E30 and you couldn't help but be sideways with a trail of smoke behind. And that was roll-on in 2nd with a 3.25 diff!

I guess i got a good one.

[Jafxod]

nope, i just make heater boxes

Plus chicks think it's cool. ;)

The first thing I did after swapping the eta for an i was a burn out, but I also wanted to test out the 4.10

[AndrewBird]

The way I see it, burnouts are a way of stress testing the drivetrain. How else will you know if your guibo needs to be replaced? :)

Seriously though, when I bought the 318is that I pulled the engine out of for my MG, I beat the SHIT out of it first for a month to make sure nothing was going to go wrong after I pulled the engine. Several times I sidestepped the clutch at 6000 rpm. No problems what so ever.

Now doing an burnout in an iX is something I would be afraid of! :D

[nomansland92]

I've done one an my ix, it left four black marks :) I was also making a u turn

[MR 325]

Since tires, diffs, clutches, and driveshafts are so cheap, right?

It's not like I am dumping the clutch at every green light. Some of us know how to have a different kind of fun. I won't argue that tires are expensive! I will argue that in my 8 years of E30'ing I have never blown a diff, broken a driveshaft, or smoked a clutch. Then again, none of my cars are running a tired M20 with 250k on the clock like most of R3V. I didn't add the HP to my cars to look at them.

[Dominic49]

me burnouts? never.....

What car is that and what engine?

thats my 89 325i turbo s50 in that video. you can see the exhaust stain on the ground in between the tire marks from the open wastegate

[Sagaris]

Wow, thread mostly full of prissy BMW fags.

Oh god, it's too hard on the car. Blah blah blah. Don't ever ride with me then.
