Weld the diff and they will drift without any problems

Yes, you can drift a relatively stock BMW. Save up for a limited slip differential as your first mod.

I own an E36 328i. Since purchase I've put a 3.15 LSD in and the rears are now wrapped in sticky 255/40R17s. I have no problem spinning the wheels in its current state.

If you want to drift on the cheap, get a 325i minimum, since the 320i I owned prior was too underwhelming. Either weld the diff or purchase an autotragic-donor LSD (high ratios), strip the chassis to the bare essentials and reinforce the rear subframe if you want it to last. In terms of electrical problems, of the two E36s I owned, I only had one gremlin which was a faulty solder joint in the tacometer. They're not nearly as bad as people say they are.

Also be aware that many BMWs are like legos, so educate yourself on parts cross-compatibility before taking aftermarket routes if you want to save money. I hope this helps.

325s and 328s are widely used in street class drifting competitions here so yeah they do drift quite good, just get an LSD
also there are almost no electrial problems

Keep crying about your shitty cars that won a couple races 30 years ago

>>15459096
show us a car with more racing wins that the M3
Or show us a brand with more racing wins than BMW

Why do you have to be such a jerk dude
FWD is just as good. I have no idea why you get so upset at that

>>15458138
Go for the 328 anon, on the stock wheel width you'll be able to get the tail out no problem. Most of them didn't come with TCS either.

Relatively cheap and very effective mods:

Installing S52 or S50 cams. Buy them used from someone building an M3 out, they're cheaper than aftermarket and are good for 40hp or so with a good tune.

Chinkshit headers breathe much easier and work very well on these motors.

An M3 differential makes all the difference. Night and day for cornering.


Be prepared to fix: every. single. last. bushing.
Weld up braces for the subframe, the mounts tend to rip out if you're beating on them. Valve cover gasket and oil filter housing gaskets are shit and leak all the time. Fill with an extra quart of oil to prevent lifter tick during thrashing. Keep an eye on the cooling system.

Enjoy having a blast with the car! Nothing feels better to throw into a corner like an old BMW, they're a huge blast.

Thanks. They were an opportunistic buy and I haven't been disappointed. The staggered set is perfectly flush with rolled guards on the E36.

Nah bmw drivers are just as bad of drivers on the track as they are on public roads. Just pushing people out of their way to try and get ahead.
So sad.

the electrics are honestly fine, just be wary of starter motors and electric windows, nothing else breaks at all.

Are you fucking stupid as well my friend?

>>15462042
It can

>>15459054
Nobody responds because they know you're right.

>>15462048
Prove it.

>>15458138
Everything you heard is bullshit. Find out whether or not drifting is done on dry or wet where you live. If wet, 130 horses are absolutely sufficient for starters. For dry, you want a bit more. A 328i had enough power for mad skids for days. If you make the cars lighter, you need even less HP. Beemers are great drifters and the 6-bangers will last you a lifetime.
Ask me anything.
