BMW reveals its secrets to perfect donuts

But not of the edible variety. It’s even better.

Although recent news concerning BMW has focused on some questionable design decisions, we should not forget that BMW’s performance-oriented M Division has been doing well lately. M cars are still a driver’s car, and even though technology has made them more accessible, it’s clear that they still hold a lot of potential.

Let’s just remember the positive things about BMW. M cars with rear-wheel drive, slides and lots of power. It is always fun to see the manufacturer honing their cars almost as a validation of the model’s character and driver (BMW and turn signal jokes aside).

BMW reveals its secrets to perfect donuts

This episode of BMW Today features a Neon Green BMW M4 in Ede Weihretter’s hands. It is a BMW M Driving Experience instructor at work doing its best: slide and donuts. What is the secret to a perfect donut? BMW recommends that you practice a lot to get the perfect seat position so that you can control the accelerator and brakes. Proper hand placement is essential. 9 and 3 allow you to control the drift angle, and make it easier to pass hands if necessary. The most important part of driving a BMW M4 is the fact that you have it. This is just a joke. You should practice these maneuvers only in designated areas or on private property (where permission is granted).

It takes patience and understanding to learn how to drift with a slower vehicle like Sepang. The M4’s second gear was the best for getting that smooth, flowing drift. To adjust the drift angle, keep your eyes on the direction you are going and use the throttle and steering to direct the steering. Don’t upload it vertically if you are going to record it for YouTube. That also applies to BMW.
