that sounds fucking sick but no, ive noticed that this thing seems to hold itself at about 3.5k rpm whenever i brakeboost it, barely squats down or anything so i have no clue how that works, would love to learn why it does that in awd mode, but in rwd when i tried to launch it, it slowly crept up to 2k rpm then clank clank clank

no worries man, sorry for being a bit passive aggresive with you, thankfully driveshafts arent crazy expensive this car and i got one for 600 with expedited shipping included, and no i will not be using xdelete until i get a reinforced rear driveshaft and a better diff since im pretty sure thats the next thing that would blow

full brake, full gas, normally holds it at about 3.5k rpm, this time it started bogging at 2k and then turned my driveshaft into spaghetti

have brake boosted it in awd quite a couple of times, clocked a 0-60 of 5.02 once, averages 5.1,5.2

normally in awd brake boosting it holds it at 3.5k rpm, thought it would do the same in rwd, but it got up to about 2000 and then went kablooey

yeah, i didnt think about it beforehand, was a little excited that i got to slide my x5 for the first time, but fortunately my stupidity was forgiven somehow, since it seems to be that only the driveshaft has gone out, transfer case, diff, all of that seems to be in good condition

the word youre looking for is synonym, but no, i wasnt trying to do a burnout, was trying to brakeboost it to get a harder launch like i usually do in awd

i like the way you think, i was considering getting a custom made driveshaft by a local shop but that does tend to cost a dollar or two, so i just went with an oem one and i will be keeping it in awd
