Me neither, I know I can't do and it's ok to watch for a little bit but it doesn't flick the same switches as "proper" driving.

Welcome

thanks for the welcomes yeah ive always liked a bit of drifting its a good skill if u can do it ,but like some they may not like my bmw as some may say what a good waste of a bmw ,im the same on my ford forums with old retro fords

i got the bmw cheap with loads of tax and test on it ,its not mint as its had weldind on sills towing eye etc ,i wanted a ok bmw for drifting and i found 1

It's fun for me. I also like driving fast on the twisties and I love going flat out too. I have a car for show and I have one for driving into another re-shell.

But if we were all the same it would be boring.

I think for me it's because I've never really tried it, my car's so un-drift spec it's practically impossible to do anyway. One day I'll have a proper go...

Welcome to the Zone, nice car

Drifting is more fun in an unmolested car. I couldn't see the appeal of it until I started experimenting with it, at first I thought it was a crude hoon-esque activity for slack-jawed twanks in housing estates who enjoy stabbing pensioners - but there's something almost artistic about it. Unless you weld the diff, slam the ride height, etc. Then, for me at least, it's just like typing on a computer, you put your input into the controls, and the car does it. I have a drift prepped van, and even though it drifts better than my old 320i, the E30 was may more fun, more rewarding, more thrilling.

Welding the diff ruins the fun, ruins the diff, ruins the car, ruins everything.

Driftings great, even if it is only on the odd corner along your journey. Pulling off a nice little drift on public roads can be fun (dont worry, i'm very safe).

I think not. I'd rather read knitting weekly than attempt to do something like that in mine.

welcome to the zone fella.
