    Skidpad drifting in the M3!

    Bimmercruise 2007. Basically, the show was held at Mosport Raceway and there was an open skidpad nearby. Sure I had 1 month old tires on the new M3, but what the hell.

    Edit: Can't get the YouTube to work, go here!: http://www.maxbimmer.com/forums/showthread.php?t=95092

    I'm now on the dark side. Sliding > Grip.

        e30s are like fat girls that USED to be hot, you just gotta work them out to make them hot again.

          Stone cold cone killa. :)

          Looks good. What's your source for your new favorite tires?

                Ah Happy Tires, love the color. Those E36 M3's are fun cars

                That M6 sounds mean

                  Welcome to the dark side, young padawan! :p

                  Good practice startoff. :) Buy a cheap pair of wheels to keep for the back to you can keep cycling through tires and still have nice tires on daily driving wheels.

                      Yeah...cheap wheels + M3 brakes are a concern; most 16s won't mount, even back there. Ah well, the 17" Federals are incredibly cheap and hold up WELL. I literally wore off 1/32nd of tread during that crap (they still stand at a deep 7/32nds back there).

                      I'll probably enroll in some schools or something next Spring. Sure is a lot of fun!

                        Dude, I can get you a pair of e46 m3 wheels for $50 + shipping.

                        Newer BMW owners are just lucky I have nothing with a 5x120 lug pattern, or else I'd be stacking those wheels as well.

                          18" tire budget! You trying to kill me man?

                          I'll grab a pair of something or others, no worries.

                            Speaking of tires, how do you like the Federals?

                              First gear drifting ftl :(

                              I bet you noticed the big difference with the ass out in the E36 compared to the E30.
