I was wondering if a 1985 BMW 318i is too underpowered to drift? I know that it only weighs like 2360 lbs, but its only got 105hp...any advice? This would be a dedicated drift-only car.

Is it true that BMW ratings are HP at the wheels? So the M10 is putting down 105 at the wheels?Comment

you know, they say if you're not out of control, you're not in control.
and nothing comes to my mind more when i hear that statement than an m10 powered e30.
jk.
but seriously, turbo it.Comment

How much do used engines go for? I'd like to an engine swap, but if its cheaper to turbocharge it then I'd do that. How much power can be gained by boosting it though? I'd probably be going with a T25, T28, or T35 at the biggest, because its a 1.8l and I'd want throttle response over peak horsepower. What size are the injectors stock?Comment

or is there anyone on the boards who has a turbo'd M10?Comment
