Hi! The 316i E36 has the same 1.9l (1895cc) engine as the 318i. but it's down tuned down from 125hp to 105hp. At least my 316i from 2000. Seems some also had a 1.6l 102hp.

[@panakcoding]

Downshifting can work if you're careful, but can be sketchy sometimes, and it's not something I'd reccomend to someone beginning to drift. Also, the effect that occurs when you downshift, and the tires slip when you change into the lower gear, is called rev mismatching. If you match the revs when you change gear like you normally would when driving, the car won't slide, because the engine revs will match those of the drivetrain and of the wheels. Rev mismatching upsets the car, and basically acts like a handrake, although it feels different because of the downshifting.

A e30 with a m50 and a lsd. Always drift it in the rain when going to school on this on specific set of corners and its always so awesome.

[@kuhlius_2k735]

Also E30 here, sadly only 130 hp m20b20 cant afford the lsd, so since my diff blew i welded it and now im thinking of sliding the car

[@freedom24v86]

M50 is hardly underpowered for e30.....

[@jonenpelit857]

@@kuhlius_2k735 used to have an m20b20 coupe with a welded 4.14 diff. That thing ripped on dirt roads and on wet asphalt. It had enough power for 3rd gear on downhill to drift and 2nd on flat dry asphalt. It was so much fun. Bought car when i was 13 and spent many late nights with my father fixing it and driving.

[@SwedishWayy]

e30 my dream car man ur living da dream man (:

[@njorogemungai9308]

but the car has rev remiter

[@OppoA-ek4ut]

Wouldn't recommend the downshift technique too much as there is a high possibility of over revving the engine if not careful. Clutch kick with flick the best ✌🏻

[@flamrow1117]

Indeed, not to mention the diff takes a beating. Especially on dry pavement. On gravel and snow it’s fine but dry pavement wears them down.

[@TheSchnitzelable]

true I think it's a lazy approach and can cause a lot of harm

[@OtakuSadEyes]

i like the downshift cause it allowed him to go more inside then with clutch kick or back to

[@Keyynann]

@OppoA-ek4ut Yep, my friend uses this technique a lot on his Benz during winter time because the car only has park and no handbrake. but I'd think twice about forcing in first gear for your syncros.

[@Keyynann]

@@katum-t5t lol no, foot park. typical on american cars. MB has this on several manual cars aswell.

[@miketalleyvlogs2313]

Your consistency is inspiring. Personally I love the e36 platform. Thanks. 😊

[@FahreFilms]

Thanks man 🙌🏼 Do you have a E36 to play with? ☺️

[@TheSchnitzelable]

Low HP sliding has it's magic cause once you get it right it's truly rewarding. Clutch kicking can seem like a brutal misstreating your car but feels hella good also proper weight transfer is important it doesn't come for free like in a turboed monster you have to keep the car up to speed and huge steering angle will slow you down too much and I like this balanced drifting where every mistake is punished

[@JeffWantsMoreMC]

This is the exact pain and reward I feel when I boot up Assetto Corsa on my sim rig and try drifting the stock 370Z compared to any legit drift car lol

[@TheSchnitzelable]

I put + 200kg ballast and a bit of power restriction to a vanilla ae86 to simulate the 316ti the track grip reduction also helps and mega psi to the rears a little toe out upfront just a little toe in at the rear

[@GabTer]

You can also try to inflate the rear tires to 4 bars. That will definitely help😉

[@FahreFilms]

That’s true, harder tires help alot ☺️

[@paavokar]

definetly make sure, that there is enough pressure, i have had my tyre pop out of the wheel once

[@ChoukiAbdelilah-cx6jc]

got also a compact 316 with a 1.9, it sadly has an open diff, but ur recommendations were honeslty new to me (apart from the clutch kick and going in with speed)

[@FahreFilms]

E46? Got to be creative when having low power ☺️ It also helps that the car is on coilovers, stiffer car makes it eaiser. Have you owned it for long?

[@chris_nua]

@@FahreFilms Only owned it for a few months. It's an E36 compact.

[@nabilberrada4665]

I also have an e36, Braking right after the flick can help since the whole weight of the car goes to the front and the rear loose grip, then you can manage the drift with good throttle control, another thing is to over inflate the tires so you have less grip surface, 3.5 bars is more than enough in my opinion since when the tires get hotter the pressure inside gets more

[@manuelventura3799]

3.5??? Thats too much no? I never used anything past 2.5

*bmw e46 316i 1.9l havent tried drifting yet because i was unsure.. so i watched this video to hype up my adrenaline a bit. but therefore i was driving (and drifting) my parent’s car (skoda fabia 1.2l ig) & omg, i was so o.p but when i bought my own, i only became a car show driver (like its an museum rn)* 😂 *thanks for the tips my guy, im a new sub of you. well done !

[@nicknameless5581]

I'm 17, and my first drift was in a Mercedes A170. It was automatic, so I approached a corner really fast in second gear and performed a Scandinavian flick. As the car started to drift, I just focused on managing the steering wheel, and hell yeah, it worked! Not to mention, this car is FWD. After I sold my A170, I got myself a manual Golf Mk1 and started drifting that beast. Mainly, I used clutch kicking and Scandinavian flicks, and I even did some launch controls with it. The wildest thing I did with the Golf was going downhill on a mountain road when it was raining. I drifted most of the corners using the handbrake and clutch kicks. I still have the Golf Mk1, but the engine broke. Now I'm planning to fix it and sell it to get a BMW E36 as a daily driver when I get my driving license.

[@nicknameless5581]

Thank god im alive and unharmed

[@kepofshangri-la8942]

A bonus one that I'd say is much part of the second tip is to trail brake. Shifting all of your car's weight to the front (by braking prior to the turn) until it's back swings outwards.

[@angkunsterlnw]

You can lose traction in 2 ways: by having the rear tires spin slower than the front tires (the actual speed of the car) by handbraking or by having the rear tires spin faster than the front, by clutch kicking or downshifting. Not the other way around. When you clutch kick or downshift, the rear tire will try to match up with the speed of the engine or the gearing in the case of the downshift, making the rear tires spin faster than you're actually going, thus breaking the traction

[@johnprice233]

When you downshift without pressing gas during a shift [like he did] the RPM's attempt to match the rotational velocity of the tires by going up. While the RPM's go up, the tire velocity goes down, and they meet somewhere in the middle. That is why if you try to put it in a lower gear without rev matching and your tires don't manage to spin, your car will start to break -> because tire velocity went down.
