I turned traction contro off, I put the car in first, and it never kicked in, I guess it knows you want to goof off 
I've tried 180º turns before on dry and wet, and it has never let me (it always kicks in), but I've had it in Drive.

My401, I did that burning with the old tires, the kumhos, right after that I went to discount tire to have the Michs put on. In fact I had the tires in the car when I did the burning 
Ohh and yes, the heart rate was pretty high, I was pretty excited.

Brakes
Yeah, I was going to ask about the brakes. How do you keep that front wheel from moving at all during the first few seconds? )On a bike it's easy, just squeeze the front brake.
On the E55 we have all-wheel braking - unless I have completely missed out on that magical front-brake-only parking brake (wouldn't that be great!).
So this must mean you:
A. smoked out your brake pad as well...
or
B. hit that gas so damn hard that the car didn't even move for the first 3 seconds!

You don't smoke the brakes, only for the first two or three seconds only, yes you do need to power brake, but after that I didn't ever touch the brakes until the end.
To start burning tire you don't step too hard on the brakes either, ususally the front brakes have more power than rears, it is never 50-50 distribution for brakes, more like 70-30

WOW!!! That was insane! I just showed another buddy of mine who owns an M3. He is need of new tires now and you gave him the crazy idea of trying it himself. If he doesn't chicken out, I will film it and post it on line for you guys. BTW, did you have a bunch of burned or melted rubber all over the inside of your wheels wells? If so, was it a b*tch to clean? Thanks for the info. and the link brotha...

LOL, I always have rubber there, from the track races and the street races
Not too hard to clean, once it cools off, it comes off with a rag or pressure washer.
Do let us know if your friend does that on his M3.
