Well, the 320i is plenty of power if your only drifting for the craic! Obviously you won't win any competitions but it will get you around. The one i have has been very reliable despite three days in mondello close enough to the limit for two hours! The main thing with bmws is to get a good base car, once you have that the engines in the e36 bmws all use the same mounting point so you can go all the way to a m3 if you want more power, conversions are fairly cheap.

Heres a couple of pics of my 320i with welded diff,hydro handbrake, redstuff pads, 15" alloys and stripped out. All you need to get goin really

E36 325i I'd say if anything

Arn't those 318is anygood to go? If the cars being stripped of everthing?

Those E36 interiors are heavy compared to some cars (cams, silvias, or anything jap for that matter) You'd be suprised at the ammount of shit in bmws interior wise.. Take it to a landfill with weigh bridge before and after youve taken as much as you can out.. don't forget sound deadening to - I filled 2 LIDL bags of it out of my old twincam, weight of em.

There a great car to start off in anyway and alot cheaper to get bit if anything goes wrong because theres beemers everywher being broke!
And standard suspension in mine, not a bother on it!

Exactly . Cheap is the name of the game . Is there a project thread on your car ?? Just to get a better look etc .... ???

If not , what's the spec ?
