A while ago, a friend of mine and I were trying to do a donut or a burnout in his BMW 330ci at an empty parking lot, but we couldn't quite get ourselves to do it right. The tires peeled off a little but overall it wasn't as pretty as those videos I've seen on the net. Does anybody have any tips on how to do a donut or a burnout the proper way? Thanks
How do you do a donut? or a burn out?

The proper to do a burnout is turn the wheel to the left (turn to right if RHD). Left foot on the brake, right foot on the gas.
1. Soft braking while a little on the gas
2. As soon as the car starts moving to the left, press hard on the brake to lock the front wheels and right foot all the way to the bottom of the gas pedal to kick the rear end off ground to the right direction.

how do you do it with a stick?? I mean manual car
1. Drive to your nearest location:
2. Buy your favorite kind.
3. Eat and enjoy.
1- hold rpm's at about 6500 with the clutch in
2- drop the clutch with the car in 1st gear and put the foot all the way to the floor
3- smell the smoke and hear the cool sounds
4- post mpeg on net so we can all check it out too
5- go to www.scienceofspeed.com to view the new clutch you are going to need to get from Chris
6- go to www.tirerack.com to price out the new tires since you just smoked yours
All kidding aside just remember how you are treating your car. Beating on it is much diffrent that tracking or street driving and you wallet will be able to see the difference.

I think you will be better off with an automatic. You will need to change gears if you you are driving stick unless your right foot is big enough to hold the gas and the brake at the same time.
Or tell your friends to trade-in for the SMG 330ci.
I thought the SMG was only available on the M3?
Most future BMWs that offer standard will offer the SMG. In the near future it is the 330 and the Z4 that will get it...with the new gen 5 and 6 seires slated to get it as well...fine times in bimmer world

Actually, he already put down his deposit on a white M3 SMG, and will be selling his 330ci very soon. So we figured we might have some fun while he still owns the car for the last few days.
Don't any of these stunts actually damage the car if you hold down the break and the gas pedal at the same time?
Thanks

Are there any proper ways of doing these stunts without doing any damage to the mechanical aspects of the car? I'm not too worried about tires. My friend and I have 4 more days til he sells his 330ci, and we want to try to make the last 4 days count.
Thanks
Thanks
Oh, I forgot to remind you that SMG (European model) only permit 30 clutch drop launch per clutch life. Donuts will use up more clutch and generate more heat/fiction on the clutch than each drop launch. So you know how much damage can be done to the car.
Be sure to tell your friend to have fun in these last few days before the SMG arrives.

Thanks for all the info
From taking a look at some of those links I actually read more negative comments than positive ones regarding the M3 and the much appreciated SMG gearbox. Should my friend reconsider getting the M3? If there are any M3 owners out there, please let me know how the car is compares to other cars or a NSX. Thanks!

if u wanna see a BMW do a beautiful half-donut (but loads of smoke & noise) then rent the James Bond movie "Tomorrow Never Dies" and watch the car-park chase.
