The N55 produces the majority of it's torque well before red line.
If you want to kick the rear end out and power slide, select a gear that will put you around 4k rpm, then depending on you good you are at initiating the slide you'll have plenty of torque and plenty of rpm to keep the rear tires spinning.
By the time the engine is around 6K most of the torque is way down, so trying a power slide near red line isn't the best approach.
You're right, the 335i kicks out the rear nicely in sport+ mode. At a modest 30mph I got the rear to come out very controllably.
