Hey Veeky Forums, I want to get into motorsport but since I live in a shitty country where no cars get imported into ever all thats available is drifting, and since there are no cars here except BMW's will an 328 or 325 E36 spin the rear tires without much upgrading since everything costs a hand and a foot. Also is it true that everything in electrical in these older beemers is gonna break within 2 days

Weld the diff and they will drift without any problems
Nathan Reyes
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

the fuck does it have to do with the street going Corolla?
it can't even drift and it sucks at racing so I don't give a fuck about it
Oliver Brooks
How can bmw even compete?
Hahahaha
Bentley Murphy
>corollas cant drift
Are you fucking stupid

The E30 M3 is the most successful road racing car of all time, that's how it competes
Hudson Robinson
Hahahaha. Cant even beat a lemons car!!!
Pathetic bmws
Corolla is most sold car ON THE PLANET!!!
Go back to your containment thread cucks

The E30 will never be beat in terms of victories, you can read why.

>Google image searching for a Lemons corolla in front of a BMW, not taking into context that pack order gets very mixed during pitstops and endurance racing

Next you'll say "I was only pretending to be retarded"

Man I love those wheels. I wanted to get a set for my old 330ci.

Keep crying about your shitty cars that won a couple races 30 years ago
Evan Brown
show us a car with more racing wins that the M3
Or show us a brand with more racing wins than BMW
Aaron Miller
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
Michael Harris
Go for the 328 user, 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.

the civic tried overtaking but it failed and spun out

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

> FF can drift
Are you fucking stupid as well my friend?
Christian Powell
It can
Oliver Mitchell
Nobody responds because they know you're right.
Samuel Cooper
Prove it.

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.
