You know it will happen, but for now the e36 is doing well.

RWD is very different, it requires more skill to drive quickly but can be much more rewarding than FWD.

A couple more videos, first one from inside the car, and the second from outside and unfortunately the camera fogged up for this run.

My mates got one with a welded diff' and it makes it horrible to drive normally. When you turn a corner the inside wheels drags and slips on the road as its moving at the same speed as the outside wheel. Its good fun with a welded diff' on them oulton park drift days though. Last time we ended up going backwards over the mini tyre walls and getting beached haha we had to get towed off it.

Welding was more a joke than anything else, but it would be kind of cool I think...

I am going to have to buy an LSD fairly soon though I think.
