Of course a 552bhp, rear-wheel drive bi-turbo V8 BMW M5 will drift. The question here, is how far?

That would certainly be fun. I wonder what RPM the turbos kick in? With that much torque I'm assuming pretty low end..

It's so easy to drift in the M5 that you can put your sunglasess on while doing it and take them off in the next scene.

Indeed. Most impressive. I do believe Chris Harris did his fair share of drifting in the car... or maybe I recall incorrectly; will have to dig up that video if I can find it.
