I imagine it would be a bugger, not enough steering lock?

 

[CocoPops]

and the wheel base isnt really long enough to get proper drift.

 

[Little Newms]

I had my brothers one drifting when i drove it........ But all for the wrong reasons

 

[telford_mike]

and you couldnt afford the tyres....

 

[John V6]

No problem in this weather.

Saves on tyres as well.

Youve gotta be kidding!!

It was designed not to, itll understeer or spin

 

[CraigV6]

That is absurd!!!!!

The weight distribution will not allow it.

 

[JAY BUNDHOO]

it wont drift at all, tried it on a large damp, quiet roundabout, the car understeers & the more you try, the more it pushes out..until you let go of the throttle & BANG!!! youve spun!

You cant argue with the laws of physics.

 

[RobFenn]

You cant argue with a crap set up car you mean

 

[rmccardal]

Thats you told, Mike.

 

[BenR]

um, you can drift them..........

they just need broken rear bearings and 20" wheels.......erm, yea......

Not a great car for that at all.

if you spent the time setting it up then you could possibly do quite well, but it would be a slow responding pendulour car...which might be ok actually for UK drift circuts. Jap sh*t your buggered.

Plus youll need one of my 3.5ltr high torque engines to keep the damn thing spinning lol.

 

[blink172]

Would you really want too drift your lovely Vee though. Last thing id be thinking of doing in one.....

 

[BenR]

why?

driving it normally is boring as pants.

 

[MarkCup]

Clarkie was doing alright in his with the aid of a moss strewn airstrip IIRC (and some brutal clutch/throttle abuse).

[BenR]

[McBunny]

didnt bust wheel did you

 

[BenR]

no.............................................

 

[McBunny]

wasnt that v6 then

 

[miketheman2k]

lol. Good replies Fear not, I wasnt thinking of taking mine drifting, but I would be keen to get hold of a 1990s 325i sport with the all-important LSD....

....although Im not sure if funds will allow it while owning the V6 as well, and I think I know which one is more important. One day...

bmws make sh*t drift cars.

 

[Fred@BTM]

you havent seen my mates Z3 M coupe then have you ben???

[BenR]

now THAT is a god beemer, the Mcoupe is the best beemer there is, only because it doesnt follow BMW philosohy.

older beemers, and even the new m3s make sh*t drift cars. 50-50 weight and all that.

 

[BenR]

ok, now im really jelous..........deffo one of the best cars about.

 

[Fred@BTM]

hes removed the VANOS system too, bloody flies that thing does

 

[BenR]

i bet it does.

so, when do i get a go?

 

[Fred@BTM]

ill ask him

he drifts it so much he had to reinforce the rear floor pan, cos the diff mounts kept ripping out of the floor

 

[BenR]

LMAO! youll ask him haha.

do i have to wear a condom inside?
