e30 drift ultimate BMW show Tramp Drift

This is my e30 from 2007's Ultimate BMW Show at Santa Pod. I was part of the drift demonstration, and my car took a beating. It was already worse for wear from the TrampDriftWest event in Wales a couple of weeks prior to this event, but Santa Pod is always hard on cars when they are running hot and the tyres delaminate and rip off filler caps/bumpers etc!

Great day, look forward to this year's show.

Check out progress on this car on my website www.TrampDrift.com in the "your tramp drifters" project section. It is currently being prepared for the British Drift Championship 2008, where I will be competing in the Pro/Am catagory.

Any sponsorship for the events this year would be considered, sponsor a good driver, not his lairy bodykit.

is that an M3? i have an E36 325i.. what tuning would i need to turn it into a drift monster?

[vikkiandbradley07]

erm money would be a starti kinda kniw the guy via e30zone and its a 325 but i belive it has a m50b25 enigne in it beeing the 24v e35 engine

Thanks for trying to answer vikkiandbradley, it's a 316 but now has a m30b35 in it, which is the 12v single cam straight 6 engine from the 80s+early 90s 5/6/7series cars. 3.5 litre.

An e36 325i is a good car to start with, just weld the diff, strip it out (preferable), fit a bucket seat, and maybe some stiffer suspension. As long as it has a welded diff it will drift fine, other stuff just makes it easier/better. Standard open diffs make it very difficult but again, is possible.

Oh yeah sorry, this video was when it had the m20b25, ie the normal e30 325i engine fitted. It NOW has an m30b35 fitted since I have been competing against the best drivers in the country and they mostly have 350bhp+ so I wanted to give myself a fighting chance lol.

absolutely the worst music ever. but great sliding by the e30. i like how the supra just fallows and never slides.

[originalMJG]

The supra was drifting, it just looks and sounds so boring and dull that you can't tell lol. He has fitted coilovers, removed the wing, and is about to fit a soarer v8 now so it should be a different story :D
