Zitat von Paul_M;62997Alles anzeigenNot if you have a manual box... I have drifted mine on several occasions and have no concerns about the box.
Two things to make drifting far easier and more controlled: a manual box (which I have) and an LSD (which I don't have).
The beauty of the LSD is that both wheels spin together, so you can quite precisely control the slip angle with very subtle throttle adjustments. I am strongly considering buying one for my 8 but they don't come cheap. I already have one in my E36 track/drift slag.
Those of you lucky enough to have a CSi get both the manual box and LSD as standard, not to mention the 380 BHP engine which should make it very easy to break traction at the rear
You are absolutely right. With a friend of mine we are offering Drift practice days for everyone (http://www.drift-training.ch)
We have E36 325i and 328i. These cars rock to drift! You might not believe it, but I love the 325i even more than the 328i - it is way more fun!
The 850i was very interesting to drift. I have automatic and no LSD. But with the right technique you can do good drifts. But of course it's easier in an 3 series or even M3.
I already drifted my 850i, several 3series, an E36 M3 3L and a Z3M Coupe 3.2L. The easiest was the Z3M and the M3 and the most demanding the 325i. The most I learned in the 850i I think.
