Went drifting in my e30 for the first time.

4.10lsd is too high of a gearing on a stock 325i. I know because I drove an open diff 4.10 325i for 2 months until I got another diff. A 4.10 on a 325e is suicide (and useless).

Stick with no higher than a 3.73, doesnt matter what you have under the hood of that e30. If it's a Getrag 260, there's no point in ever going above a 3.73....ever.

I can't maintain RPMs while sliding in 3rd gear. Won't switching to 3.73 make this worse?

Absolute truth.

4.10 lsd is a MUST mod for your e30 if u want to drift, i tried drifting an 87 325e sedan, all stock, and it was i bit of a job compared to my 86 325

I have a 4.10LSD with my "I" engine and slide on all season 195's, power is not enough. I am going to 175's and getting some headers to attempt to be able to slide third.

LSD would be a very good start.

An LSD would have made the power adequate.

Went to a local drift practice at a track. Loved the way my car handled, very tossable and didn't under steer once all night. Didn't do too well drifting obviously cause it was my first time out, i hate my open diff. Power from my chipped 325e was almost adequate.

Pics to come soon.
