I have the slr kit with stock length control arms. Im running 225/45/17s 17x8 et20 with turner steering rack stops. Still got tons of angle and full clearance lock to lock.
Bmw's as drift cars in Australia seem to not exsist well barely. Maybe a handful of legit cars they go to local events or track days. Really looking forward to where my new car ends up.
Hey been away from this board for a bit, lots of stuff going on, but I am back! First thats some sick **** there Alex! A
And djtyfighter Ill get you pics soon of everything (still a work in progress). Still gotta hack my fenders and install the fender flares along with the 20mm spacers pushing the fronts out a ton. With 0 offset. Should be dialed in close to, if not exact to chelseas setup once done.But ill def keep you posted!
Well I'm not running BMW rotors or calipers or stud pattern. What I have is Nissan z33(350z) brembo rotors and calipers. Made two brackets, one to weld to the control arm and one to bolt onto the old caliper mount. Ran the same set up in the e36 but running Nissan r32gtr gear(smaller) and was great! Hopefully this would be the same. The seperate hydraulic handbrake makes driving so much better too!
Just found out Massive Brakes still provides a kit for e36 M3s that will work with e46 non-ms. I emailed him. Super nice guy Ill prolly be going hydro dual caliper soon. Maybe...
Didn't think I would actually find a healthy drifting thread on this site, but I was wrong! I'm currently working on accumulating parts for my 330 to turn it into a mild daily driver/drifter. See the build link in my sig. Many updates are coming in December!
^Is your welded diff more for street use or track. Please post back after you have driven in the rain several times, i'm curious how much push you get.
Primarily for street use right now. It is not as bad as I expected, especially once the tires get warmed up; they only seem to chatter when cold. Parking spots are where you can really tell its welded. I noticed my traction control light come on a couple times when pulling into a spot. I need more time with it to really feel it out, but overall... streetable.
Note, I have NOT driven in rain with it yet. It has been SOOOOO dry on the west coast lately.
Agreed. Driving in the rain is a blast now. I actually get some traction now with both rear wheels getting power!
Also, you have any experience with wheel hop in the rain? I have a feeling it is my stock worn out RTABs. Hopefully the AKG spherical bushings I have coming in will fix it.

Love my welded in the rain too! As for the wheel hop, I still get it in hard launches with almost an entirely aftermarket rear-end. Never got any before having a welded though.
Anybody in the Portland area needing a Diff welded up I can do them at the shop.
