Just a basic introduction,
So, recently bought a new daily (E46 320i sedan), and as the other E46 drift car I have is loud as fuck and isn't allowed on practice days, I decided to convert my last daily to a drift car.
Has some supporting mods already (as I already knew it would end up as a drift car hehe), but still slow as fuck.

It's an '98 316i E36 compact (one of the last 1.6 ones, before they started to sell the 316i with a 1.9), and have used is a daily for over a year now. It's dropped on TA-Technix coilovers up front, and chopped springs w/ Camaro shocks at the back.
Mille Miglia MM11 wheels in 17x8.5 ET13 w/ 205/45 Nankang NS2's all around.
strongflex bushings up front, removed front anti-rollbar, but added a rear anti-rollbar from a Z3.
Interior is pretty clean, recently fitted this half-alcantara sport interior, which will go out though.

a lil older pic, but engine bay is pretty clean too.

Engine is okay, but as stated before, it's slow as fuck, so I bought a M44B19 a little time ago which will be prepped to go into the compact. interior will be gutted, buckets will be fitted, hydro handbrake, weld the diff (looking for a shorter ratio E30 diff though, which is a pain in the ass..) and maybe a basic lock kit too. Got a ducktail laying around, and am looking into a felony form set too.
- M43B16 (to become M44B19)
- TA-Technix coilovers (front)
- Chopped springs + Camaro shocks (rear)
- Strongflex bushings
- Silver Project camberplates
- Some stickers
- QSP wheel
- Custom shiftknob
- Some RGB LED strips (inside and out)
Plans:
Gut interior, find an E30 diff and weld it, install hydro, basic lockkit, Insert M44, do some skids.
Should become a fun lil' streetsweeper.
