hello all, looking for a e30 to begin drifting with, im only 19 so the 6 spots are out of the question as it will be a daily, i want to aim for a 318is if insurance is ok but if not, can you drift a 318i? i obviously want to focus on the technique behind drift more then power as i would expect the 318i lacks...
im hoping to save up around 1200-300 so hopefully that will cover the price of the car and any insurance quieries if they want abit more then my current car(golf GTi) for the 318is
cheers

Hey mate, welcome to the zone.

Try aim for the 318is, theres a big difference generally between that and a 318i

Too much money when you could pick up a better condition 320 SE and a pair of koni shocks for the same money, more torque, better noise, same insurance

Insurance varies from person to person.

A decent 318is is 1200 onwards. You dont see many cheaper then that!
