    Im sorry i should have neen more specific here. Im looking to start drifting. Ive been building off road 4x4s since i was about 15. Im 30 now. Time to try something new. So I know the fundamentals but not much more. Thinking about this bmw.

    I take it insurance isn't much of an issue as your 30 so I would personally go for a larger engine (six cylinder) I think the 318 is only around 100-110 hp, which is possible to do but easier with that bit more power

    Will skid fine. Weld the diff, eBay coilivers, and a seat then off you go, increase the rear tyre pressure if you struggle
