Hope you have or plan on putting in some support for that rear subframe.

Known to tear the frame from the chassis

Can you tell me more about it? Why do i need to do it? Next move is hydraulic handbrake, more turn in front wheels, roll cage, bigger injectors and fuel pump and remap,so if there is a good reason why should i put support for subframe it will be in a list to do next

I really wouldn't bother, just save up an extra few quid an put a proper engine in it.

As for rear subframe issue, the four pick up points for the subframe (where it bolts to the car) can crack and tear away from the body, major problem. You can make plates and weld them in, or buy them. Google it an you'll see.

I couldn't agree more about changing the engine, but first I would like to learn to control the car, I haven't been on the track yet. I am planning putting RB20 Engine in it when I will have achieved some kind of techniques in drifting

Thanks for advice about the rear subrafe, will have to do something about that.

Does anyone know how to increase Camber on these cars? Would love to go mad

Get some camber plates mate.

As for the drives, get the ones from 328 or 330. My ones were ok even after many hours of abuse. Once I've used soft front racing tyres on the rear axel, destroyed my diff but drives were fine.
You'll defo need higher diff ratio. Now your ratio is 3.07, I had same ratio in my 330i and it was too low.

Don't mind mapping this engine, it's pointless. Just cut the cats out and replace your intake manifold with the one from 330 or 325 (m54 engines only). Cheap power there

Thats a lot of great information!! Thanks for advice, looks like very few people on here have some experience with bmw's. Now, the question is, what to do with the diff? I got a guy to weld it for me, after few dohnuts it got stuck, opened it and one piece was broken. Removed the broken peace , welded again, and it lasted a good while, but broke the drive. Got the drive replaced and the diff went again, this time i think its done forever, as there are no more space for weldig.. Where can I pick up a diff that would last? or do they all keep breaking?

Thanks for any info

I'm looking for a genuine M3 diff, but theyre not easy to come across :/
