Arrived at icey open car park tonight.

Cue some donuts and lazy drifts before parking. Natchurally.

Came back out - all fluids still warm... so it would be rude to exit without a few more. However - I found some unexpected grip which fired me rather effectively straight towards a kerb. Just stopped in time before realising i'd forgot to switch the above systems off.

Remember kids - safety systems = dangerous!

I did something similar:

R33 GTR. Brand new NISMO TE37s. Snowy car park. Group of mates stood watching. I blipped the throttle to get the back out, the ATTESSA system shuffled the power forward to the front wheels and powered me the way the front wheels were pointing. I avoided a kerb by less than an inch.

I think a failed drift in your work car park in front of colleagues is obligatory for a petrol head
I managed a similar one to you Rev, but in the 328i purely due to the rear finding grip on an unevenly icy surface and the front sliding like a good'un!

That's what you get get for showing off

You should drive more considerate for the conditions. LOL.

Note than none of us actually crashed our cars, but instead used our skillz to rescue the situ.

139.0001BHP on supermarket UL, glovebox open, hood down, seats reclined at a jaunty angle.
My mats are blank.

As I was sliding towards the kerb (which was actually a corner), rh side front wheel first I was actually trying to decide whether to just pay for a new wheel or whether to claim on the insurance.
