Video: Out-of-Control Drifting in a BMW 7 Series

OK, so maybe nobody crashes, at least not so far as we can see on this video. But drifting a big luxury sedan -- and yes, spinning repeatedly -- with all those people standing so close to the runway? Less than brilliant. But fun to watch.

BMW 7-Series, Holden/Chevrolet Statesman, Hyundai Genesis, Mercury Grand Marquis...throw in a Charger and 300C and it's just the most awesome RWD sedan orgy.

Hi hi everyone sort of a new user at this forum but ive been quite a regular visitor(one of my favourite carnews websites) first thing i have to say is happy holidays everyone and hope u enjoy cristmas.
As wiht this well honestly desgracefull video as the local drifting in outskirts riyadh(capital of Saudi arabia) i have 2 say people here can't retire this worst form of car drifting as this has 2 be one of the best rwd saudi style drifting ive seen but in comparison to the wave from 2003-2007 drifting this is pretty uninteresting but that is all fwd drifting.
My last piont is this is the one of the very 1st videos ive seen drifting in nothern-western part of the city well which finally shows that not all saudi arabians drive midsize economy saloons(sort of the trend where the middle income is at least $48k+approx. a year in that part of town)

as stupid as this activity is, it is still a million times more intelligent than American burnouts, donuts, and ghost riding.

I wonder if it was worth the 3.66 minutes of my life to watch this, and whether drifting is reaching its jump the shark moment. While I admire the car control, it's seeming more and more like a pointless exercise, with a waste of tires and drivetrains.
