Drifting a '13 328 n26
I have a FBO n26 w bm3 stage 2 93.
Do these make good drifting or autocross cars? Anyone have any videos or online tutorials to help understand the basics of such things? It's something I wanted to maybe get into and then the next step would be to learn about it online and then enroll in a local class or track for some IRL experience. Any specific additional mods I might need to do that would help as well? A lot of the videos I'm finding online are 335s which have a bit more power VS 328s. I did a search here and didnt find much discussion on it. Thanks! |

I don't think these cars are good for drifting with the open diff. When I went to the M-School all drifting activities were done with cars with LSDs of some sort.
After putting an LSD into my 328d, it's much easier to initiate and hold a drift. If you do try it, I recommend starting with comfort throttle mode as I find sport to be a bit too peaky and less easy to control when initially feeling the car out for a drift.

I autox my car often and it took a lot of mods to start being competitive. I get the tail out all of the time but I have had a lot of practice with open diff BMWs over the years. It can be very unpredictable but practice is the only way to hone and hoon.
With everything full off on my 328 it forces comfort throttle. 100% agree that sport throttle is too twitchy for skids, especially with the open diff.

One tip is to ditch the staggered setup if you have one, it'll help make the handling more neutral.
