Automatic, revs drop after a few spins

I have an automatic 1997 bmw 328ic with sport mode on it, when I do doughnuts (which already are **** because I have an open diff) and I hold the gas pedal all the way down with asc off and I start spinning, after like 1-2 minutes it’ll start losing power and the revs will drop until I let go of the gas a little and then floor it again, does anyone know why and how I can stop it from losing power?

Thanks I'll check it out, and yeah I do them counter clockwise so that might be the problem, I've also heard that when you turn off asc just by pressing it, it doesn't turn off all the way and if it's starts to react mid-doughnut it would cut of the throttle and kill the power to the wheels if I'm not correct
