I bought a cheap daily.
BMW E36 318i Touring.
Sort of M-kit on it. M3 front bumper and mirrors, M-suspension + lowered.
Full black leather interior, heated seats, aircon, decent sound system, full serviced by BMW. Comfy cheap runaround

Quote from Töki (HUN) :

BTW, how come you chose the E36 over the S13? Used to be the other way round.

Money at the time. Engine was dead twice and couldn't afford to keep repairing it. It was an awsome car, wish i never sold it but also never could've dreamed that i'd be drifting an M3..;

The BMW handles a little bit more stable imo but i miss the feeling of power the turbo gives you. Might bolt on a tub to the M3

Okay,
Assuming there are a good few real drifters on here i'll open this topic. Here we can discuss stuff related to drifting, setups, wheels/tyres etc..

The BMW wheels however don't on the MG

Nah, I knew he had it way harder than me. Me being uberslow to him
Was really awsome

Dunno, i wouldn't do that if I where you :P Why do you hate the spacers?

Me vs 700bhp. I lost.

Whaaaat, no man keep the borbets, atleast you have decent sizes. Don't get gay and put 7.5J at front. Lower the bitch and drive it!

Yes, the paint was very expensive at 8.87€ per bottle haha

Check my rimz y0. Yes I was to lazy to remove the fake bolts. Caaaaare

ET 35-38 is really weak though
My highest wheels i'm running are +20. Rest is +15, 10 and -20-30

I'm on the right

Quote from Amynue :

Did you like Polish roads?

Tbh.. the Polish roads are better than Belgian.. The drivers however, they are crazy!
And the girls next to the road when you enter poland, haha! But the people are really nice etc.. Want to go back asap!

Onboard vid of training. Driving the M3 for the first time.

The stretch battle is on!

A coupé is not always the better choice.. In his case i guess it wasn't really a factor for the mods...

Take my car. 4dr E36, they're lighter and stiffer then a coupe, you can also get rid of allot more weight than a coupe. Also very handy for me, i can fit up to 12-15 tyres in my car! Saves me allot of room in the van

And btw, XCNuse never said he was going to install a full cage but a half one! Who cares?

I don't see either what the fuss is all about...

I'm probably am going to get my hands on a genuine Group-N ECU. Original tuned from BMW Motorsport. Really cheap! (cheap as in 750€ knowing new they cost 1400 excl. VAT). Gonna get close to 350bhp then with a thinner headgasket. The whole shit lower compression.... Standard headgasket on the M3 3.2 is 1.74mm thick, this one is 1.6mm. If feel so smart now

Goodnight

So doing a burnout is AUS is the same thing as saying "Hi" in the rest of the world?

@skstibi
Nope, Siemens

200 is pretty good i guess

Ok my ECU is fubarred.. need to source one quickly in like... 1 day
Telling my about getting hectic!

Looks great XCNuse!
Just need a slight archroll on the back, will make it look sweet as! But i'm still with my opinion that you need 4x the wheel size+offset you run at the back. The front looks so... empty?

Looks great none the less!

Back to the M3..
Temporary wiring almoust done, my dad is finishing some stuff on the engine itself, got my new ignition lock in (mine broke ) so hopefully will start today or tomorrow...

Same as Jacg and i'm bored as hell..
And most weekends as circuit/drifting instructor. Makes me some good money to

i hate new cars with their digital pedals etc etc... you don't have the feeling anymore that you're driving the yourself...

People generally these days can't drive..
