    Bought mine for $750 non running/driving. Got it running first day I had it and have been slowly working on it since.

    @Bullethost i know you have. Show us your Drift bimmer

    Eh it was nothing special I had a beat up e36 coupe with M50B20 engine, had a sport suspension, bucket seat and a welded differential. Unfortunately all photos/videos I had were on my old phone but managed to pull some from social media: Pics

    Anyway currently working on my e46 328ci (coupe). Recently did a MS42 -> MS43 conversion with electric gas pedal, electric throttle body and bigger intake from M54.
    Waiting on some part to start turbocharging it.

    Promotion Opportunity!

    I am currently working on building a 2008 BMW 528xi into a drift car for local competitions and recording the entire process. If anyone wants to have some branding on the car I am providing an opportunity to promote your brand! Your logo could be prominently featured at the events and in the video footage that I will compile afterwards. If anyone wants pictures or the story on how I got the thing ask!

    Will put any decal up to 6" x 4" for free if you ship it to me!

    If you want anything bigger I do have some cheaper parts I need you could purchase me lol

    If you want the car themed twords your brand we could maybe make something work (I need a transmission :wink:)

    Why not get rid of the X drive and while doing that just slap a manual gearbox ? It’s not hard to do and It would be way better for the track. Also what are you planning for the rear differential ?
    If it’s track only use, welding it would do the job.

    Yeah getting rid of the Xdrive is a must but putting a ZF gearbox would make it even better.

    Are you going to keep it NA ? (Assuming it’s the N52 motor)

    This car I am going to keep NA, I'll get a turbo car eventually. The NA motors seem to be super super reliable.

    Yes, the N52 and M52/54 are very reliable. My e46 has 700k km on the clock and still going strong, original motor. 😁

    I bought this car for $750 non running, god knows how long it’s been sitting… first day I had it I got it running, changed plugs and coils high idled it for 5 min and it makes 0 noise… 200k mi (~320k km) on the thing. Next thing I want is a M57 car lmao
