Bulding/buying my first drift car ! Tips for first car ? Is a e46 330I a good starter ?
Hey guys ! Next year i will build my first drift car, but i do not know what car to buy. I need your help. I do not have many criterias, but here is a few.
Max price of 4000 euro.
Easy access for parts.
Tunable engine(Meaning that i do not have to change a lot for the engines internals if i want to turbo it.)
Not a 200SX(Or 1 180SX/240SX
I have been looking at a e46 330i as a first car. But will it bee enough with around 225 bhp ? I have been thinking of turboing it, if so i would aim for 300-350 bhp, is that i good l place to start off ?

If you have money like sand in your pockets, yes. But E46 330i to get it sideways dependable you need to mod it. And this will be around 10000€ all together, most likely more. I would take a Ford Sierra 2.0 DOHC at first, weld the diff and get started. after your first accidents, maybe then an E36 or E46 as driftweapon.
Why not a e36? And fit a cheap lsd?
That thing sounds brutal, but e36 is better for a first i think. Straightpipe it, 4psi back tires 1.2 psi front, practice makes perfect
And weld the diff obviously
E36 is a better option for first drift car. Cheaper parts then e46. And dont get the sierra its low on power and stearing angle is worse then e36 in stock
Well i would because i like e36 better lol
But if u preffer e46 then go for it man.
Buy a Volvo 240
If you want a beamer for a drift car I’ve heard a lot going for e30 or e36’s due to the fact that they’re cheap and have a good aftermarket selection but bmw’s can be pricey, maybe I’m biased because I like Japanese cars better
