BMW 6 Series drifts mall parking lot

The BMW 6 Series is a very powerful coupe capable of roasting even the widest of OEM tires. Burning, drifting, and melting tires in a mall parking lot, this BMW owner knows exactly how to turn heads. What makes the 6 Series such a great tool for abusing rubber is that it comes equipped with a 4.4 liter V8 turning out 325 horsepower at 6100 RPM and 330 foot pounds of torque at 3600 RPM. With a relatively low peak torque value complimented by high RPM horsepower value, the BMW 645ci provides an endless power band that all drivers can appreciate. With a curb weight of only 3800 pounds and plentiful power to the rear wheels, the BMW 6 Series is an ideal candidate for fun!

Watching this video we get to see just how powerful the 6 Series can be when properly driven. Everything from rolling burnouts to sliding drifts is easily within reach of the Brutus BMW. Ready to launch? The traction can be easily enhanced by the press of a button, of which the BMW will whisk itself and occupants to sixty miles per hour in only 5.5 seconds. Not exactly the quickest car on the road, the zero to sixty time can use some improvement but is still very reasonable for the amount of luxury and interior space provided.

Modifying these vehicle isn't exactly easy, as BMW has installed multiple checks and balance equipment to keep the user from tinkering with it's precise machinery and electronics. However, with the right computer equipment to override these safety features, one can crank out major power from the well built BMW engine. The nice thing about modifying a BMW is that all components are already beefed up to take additional power. Adding forced induction to the 32 valve aluminum block V8 can easily add major horsepower and torque. The BMW is a favorite of both the racer and the country club elite, making it a very desirable vehicle to the consumer market.
