Safest way to practice outside of a school is a parking lot with snow. Turn of the stability control and try a few.

Safest way (asides from Grand Turismo
) is an autocross or other local safety school. Our local BMW club offers both the Tirerack Teen Street Survival school as well as general car control clinics in addition to a full autocross schedule. Both the Teen Street Survival school and the car control clinics usually offer a skid pad where one can safely experience under- and over-steer with an instructor explaining both.
Check your local BMW CCA chapters to see what your club offers.
