RWD or xDrive?

drifting yes. Use manual mode, DSC fully off by holding the button, take the corner wide, turn in while being careful to ensure the front tires don't plow and punch the throttle. I do this all the time when it's wet outside. these cars drift nice for a big ol' boat.

burnouts and launching? strongly not recommended. It is extremely stressful on your torque converter and it's only a matter of time until you break it. be easy on the transmission off the line.
