Just wanted some advise on my dilema really, i have a very early e36 325i with no traction control, factory fitted lsd, and cheap coilovers and i have a mint e30 bare shell, and i want to build a full on drift car what would you do in my position ? Get rid of the e30 shell and build the e36 or break the e36 to build the e30 ? I cant make my mind up and its doing my head in, what parts could i use off the e36 on the e30etc ? Any advise much appriciated, thanks aaron

You can't swap a lot from E36 to E30, and E36 don't break that well as frag yards are full of them and not many people are 'restoring' them. The brutal truth is you probably don't have a lot of value in your assets
I would flog the E30 shell, and use the money to buy some rubber and get skidding in the E36, seat time is the best way to spend your time if you want to drift and if you smash it into a wall an E36 is easier to find for £300 to transfer all your drift bits.

How do you pronounce 'either'? I say 'either', but some say 'either'. Either is correct.

To right go trash a 36. 30s are for keeping.
