Drifting is the first stunt that any driver and every driver attempts to do. And although it might not be easy, if you seem to have the right machine and the right track you could probably pull off the longest drift in History. That is exactly what BMW attempted to do. The legendary BMW M5 Sedan shattered the Guinness World Record for longest sustained drift at the BMW Performance Center near Greenville, South Carolina on Saturday, May 11, 2013, with BMW Performance Center Instructor Johan Schwartz behind the wheel. The M5 exceeded the previous record set in February in Abu Dhabi by 47.71 miles. A total of 322.5 laps were completed around the 841-foot (circumference) Performance Center skid pad, providing a total distance-travelled of 51.278 miles. The M-DCT transmission-equipped 2013 BMW M5 Sedan was an unmodified car from the BMW Performance Center school fleet which began the record attempt with a fresh set of Continental ContiSport ultra-high performance tires (sizes 255/30/20 front, 295/30/20 rear). The record-breaking attempt also managed to generate over $20,000 in charitable donations benefiting The BMW Charity Pro-Am.
