Why I Bought an E46 M3 (instead of a 240SX/E30/E36)

Опубликовано 10 июня 2019, 13:00

How does the E46 M3 compare to a 240SX for drifting? Zack finally heads to the skid pad to do some exercises and find out. As you'll see I'm no pro, I'm just trying to get better every time.

*This was shot in 2018. I sat on the footage for a while but decided to throw it up for those cross-shopping 240SX and E46 M3s, and peopel have been asking about the car. Zack was alone so to get exterior shots, he plopped cameras around some cones and stitched it together. Yes, it's time for a new helmet.

I've done 3 other drift days with this setup and not had a single issue with any of the parts. Castro nut/bolted it before the 3rd one and nothing had moved or loosened.

HUGE thank you to Bimmerworld and Powerflex for all the bushings that have made the car easier to slide and place, with sacrificing ride. Full list of parts below.

This radiator is GREAT. I was also able to run the A/C between sessions in Camarillo (Shout out Circuit Spirit) when it was 85 degrees, without the temp gauge rising above normal.

Turner Motorsports gave me a discount on the plates and cooling setup. Do not drift (or drive hard) your E46 without reinforcing the subframe.
