Yet another first drift car question..

[LeeHT]

Hi all,

main reason i am asking this question is i see a lot of people asking "E46 or 350Z" but i don't seem many people asking about the E92.

i have seen a few E92 325i's about for good money and obviously see a few drifters use the E92 platform but is there any specific reason why more people don't use them?

also, would the 325i engine be more or less reliable than a 350Z as i am tempted to go with a 350Z due to the amount of them and parts availability.

wildcard is also the Mk3 MX5 as i do like them but i mainly seem to see Mk1's and Mk2's.

Thanks for any feedback guys

e92 would typically be the most expensive and problematic of those 3. Newer technology/more stuff to break, not as reliable as previous BMWs. More expensive parts. Sometimes need specialty tools I believe. E46 would be a better choice for most people if you want a BMW, but 350z are king for almost 100 more ft/lb of torque and plenty of aftermarket support.
