HD: "Mr Drifter" Donnie Isley at BMW Performance Driving School and Gustav 2007

[iceman0987654]

when down there for a class trip earlier this year and got taken around the test track for a hot lap in an M3. damn that was the best trip ever

[gomer7771]

///M deere lmao...

[9b8]

Looks like a blast, dude! I'm jealous! I'm tempted to buy a M3, just to be a part of the club! But somehow, this thing called "practical" always bugs me, grrrr. Anyway, awesome vid! Don't get more orginal, raw and real than that! For your drifting...I'd say to visualize ur tire angles, even as you drive. Become the car...KNOW where ur car is, its angle, tire angle, etc. Once you "master" that particular car, you got it made! Cheers!

[MAJE2TY]

lmao @ 1:33 - 1:36 lol

[m5boarddotcom]

@MAJE2TY LOL. Heart attack :S

[helig1]

ytspenning lite svårt att göra snabba manövrar när man måste vrida ratten mer än ett varv hela tiden? Normalt mer än arrogant. En annan sak om man har halvt rattvarv och kör 200 km/h...

[m5boarddotcom]

Instämmer.

[ytspenning]

Jag själv har testat att drifta runt på en liknande halkbana som visas på videon, jag själv använde en hand när jag gjorde dem hastiga svängarna, men när jag väl kände att jag hade kontroll över bilen så använde jag mig automatiskt av båda för att småkorrigera. Sedan så menade jag även lite att killen såg ut att vara lite av en nybörjare och använde sig i stor del av en hand hela tiden och hade gigantiska rattutslag som fick honom att tappa fäste

[ytspenning]

Lite väl arrogant att köra med en hand nästan hela tiden.

[CKSB0RD3R]

how about a look from the outside?

next time maybe

[Kalasbra]

geez that dude is pissing me off,...... is he that nervous in front of the camera?

[m5boarddotcom]

Det var för kul, det var "problemet".

[GreenNikeShoes]

is this bmw m

[m5boarddotcom]

It is BMW Performance Dricing Center in South Carolina, Spartanburg USA.

[Kreager57]

I'm totally gonna drive the 3 hours to get there

[GreenNikeShoes]

no like is this bmw a m version

[m5boarddotcom]

It is the BMW M5 V10.

[alpinab5s]

nice drifts^^.in sweden it always goes so .or not? :D

[m5boarddotcom]

It does :D

[holmesmd1]

That shit is a lot harder than it looks. i have been there twice in an E39 M5 :) It was a great time

[skinnbone260]

how much did you have to pay?

[gizamer]

there laughing and joking too much there not paying attention to wht he is saying

[m5boarddotcom]

True. We had a bit too much fun :D

[kosseh]

"Get the weight transfered to the front"... I doubt that's the right phrase to use... Unless he really transfers the weight somehow... like all passengers leaning forward? Or the car has moving components that allow him to actually transfer the weight to the front...

[bfiane]

momentum.

[tranceme24]

He's right the car becomes heavier towards the rear as gas is applied. The car will actually lower on the rear. As you let off the gas or brake the front becomes heavier and pushes the nose down because the car wants to keep going forward...

[SammyJ21]

Hahahaha getting too cocky!

How much was this course? They give you well loads of time out on the circuit!

[LuckyDT]

Glad you had fun in the south Gustav... we had a hurricane with your name last year in Louisiana that really messed us up though lol. I'd love to check out the BMW driving school one day, looks like SO much fun!

[memoPFP]

the leg part is the most fun part of video!! damn!!

[m5boarddotcom]

Leg?

[jeebus2121]

Around 9:19.

[911gt333]

it is very difficult belive me! the balans beetween grip and spin is very thin. Summer highspeed tyres and very wet asphalt. Its more difficult than snow!

sorry bad english

[Mazda6B6]

I went to this BMW performance school, in America, in SC. This place it pretty awesome! If you do the one day course you drive the wet skid pad, and race around 3 different tracks. They provide you with M3s, M5s, and M6s. The only time an instructor is with you is when drifting. You race alone so it cool! " Drive it like you stole it..." -BMW Instructor.

[theclipper505]

You share!

[saavaa]

sweeeeeet, great car but, i'm not big fan of that interior wood trim

[GhostFerret3000]

Beautiful day at the track

[yannick128]

dude can't drift for shit... i drift like that with a 1.4 FWD sunny

[vincent4492]

Dude thats why theres an instructor in the car.

[haterator42]

its not drifting when you have fwd. thats just called pulling the e-brake you tit.

[gaberson38]

we do this on dirt its nothing like rally though

[BEEMERFAN79]

Nice driving gustav, i'm impressed. 5/5

[alnaga991]

what a lucky guy

[Bugatti252mph]

Looks like a lot of fun!

[LuckyCheesie]

lol gustav you are so cool

[karmahunden]

Nice drifting Gustav. "I guess I hit a slick spot . Donney: ehh, not really" lol. I'm looking to go to the M driving school. I went to the AMG driving academy last month and had the time of my life.

[cimbomgalatasari]

Gustav what do you do for a living?

[m5boarddotcom]

Drive cars!

[umbertino6]

do they pay you to do these vids? what's your job?

[adaorlando]

nice video!!! this driving school looks so funny....you do realy good for your first time :D

[JoeyandLindsay]

Gustav you had me tensing up watching this with anticipation. I've done it once before except on snow/ice. Good job if it was your first experience.

[FuriousPumpkin]

awsome i go to college close to there.

[m5boarddotcom]

I liked the south alot, very different from east and westcoast. Southern Hospitality they call it :)

[FuriousPumpkin]

yeah it's a wonderful region, i sincerely hope you had some fried chicken!

The spartanburg plant has been great for the area, i loved taking school trips there as a kid to tour the factory. They have started to build the M versions of the Suv's there also.

I live close to Charlotte, NC I'm thinking about doing a supercar experience with a company close to there.

[m5boarddotcom]

I had Chic-fil-A! It was great!

[FuriousPumpkin]

wonderful! Chic-fli-A is probably the cleanest and best serviced fast food franchise in the country so you got a treat there.

It's not quite the same thing as REAL fried chicken but close enough!

[red33m23]

you seem like a cool person Gustav!

[mrgold88]

where is that center ?

and is that their car , or you should bring your own ?

[m5boarddotcom]

Center is roughly where the wate comes from. Their cars: M3, M5 and M6!

[mrgold88]

how much did u pay for a spin ?

[FuriousPumpkin]

the school's there are pretty expensive, the M school is around 1200 bucks for a day. If it's an entire day that's pretty competitive with anything out there.

I'm doing this supercar experience when I get home that's cheaper and has a better variety of supercars. It's not on a track with an experienced driver but that fits me better anyway. I want to enjoy the car like i would everyday, blasting through country roads instead of weaving through cones.

[mrgold88]

where can I do that ?

[FuriousPumpkin]

Theres a lot of companies that do stuff like that. The one I'm going to is called supercar sensations. You can't turn traction control off and they "advise" you to stick to the speed limits and drive civilzed. But really all i would want to do is give it some pedal everynow and then, I don't have the desire to do anything strenuous on public roads, it's just not safe.

Most of those companies offer events at a track and on public roads so you should have your pick.

[mrgold88]

one more question, how much do they charge ?

[FuriousPumpkin]

just google "supercar sensations" for that specific company.

[mrgold88]

thnx bro I appreciate it =)

[sammytsai]

keep practicing gustav :D

looks difficult already..drifting on wet road...

[m5boarddotcom]

I was very bad this day :S

[911gt333]

everyone (M driver) should try this! Nice!)

[m5boarddotcom]

Definetly!

[nfusco618]

Was that Donnie in the car? I had him as my instructor at the performance center.

[m5boarddotcom]

Yes, Donnie is great!

[MiniCooperBenzo]

Gustav how did you like the states?

[m5boarddotcom]

Alot! Did you see my 5-week visit if the states? Memory of a lifetime!

[driveorkill]

i love that bmw sound...looked like fun

[prismlol]

Lol, "Yeah that's the MDeer!"

[ALLvideogamesFANBOY1]

gustov you are so lucky

[Retributionify]

That looks like tons of fun!!! woo go gustav!!! XD

[W33Dblazer]

Gustav do you recommend taking this course?

[m5boarddotcom]

Yes!

[ErosaScuderia]

I'm going to buy an M5 when i'm older.

[stigger91]

That looks like a lot of fun, I gotta go up there and do that!!

[warhawkpro]
