In this video we are diving into and discussing my M3 powered 318ti. This car is a workhorse and has seen a few evolutions over a few years. I wanted to revisit it with you guys for an update of where it’s at.

Love this thing. Used to have a 323ti myself (in europe we had a 2.5L m52 ti for a while) with some very basic mods like bushings, coils, x-brace etc. Fun and very unasuming. Did some roadtrips to Germany, Sweden, Norway and back. Hauled my mountainbikes to al kinds of places. A workhorse.

Glad to see a break down of the suspension on that car. As a stupid idiot E30 driver I learned the hard way that the rear end is trash and slowly went up in tire size to gain grip. I’m now on a 12k spring and like 1/2 inch of droop to disable the rear end. I’m gonna give your setup, or something similar to it, a shot and see if I can get any better grip out of my shitcan. Thanks Chelsea!

@@chelseadenofa Plates have to be measured and aligned before welding for the specs you want. Also slightly bent arm could cause that too. I went from 2.7° to 1.5-2.0 range with enough toe adjustment range for toe out and toe in at the set height level.

Hey Chelsea, I'm trying to get into drifting and I've got a 323is with an M52b25. Right now it has the 2.93 gears in the diff which is welded. Should I swap to 3.15 or 3.45 gear or will I be fine running the 2.93 gears with stock power? Also, are power steering coolers needed? Love the content, I have learned a lot about drifting and e36 chassis! Thanks!
@1990Redline3 жыл бұрын
one of the best engines imo! give it some 5w50 tho so it´tl last loooong :D also go something like 3.15 wich is awesome or even better would be the 3.23 diff, that gives you something arround an extra 10% torque on the wheels in comparison to the 3.15..

I'm trying to find a 3 series e36/e46 and I'm having a hard time deciding. Are all the trim models basically just as reliable as the next? 323 325 328 330 ect, I want what would be the best daily on a budget and with cheapest insurance and best reliability regardless if it has less power, any info appreciated.
@1990Redline3 жыл бұрын
@@chasefroning I'm more a e39 guy, but since they share pretty much the important stuff, I would ALWAYS go for a m52! A even more so if you're ok a budget. I'm from Germany so I don't know what the models cost you over there, but if you can go for a e36 m52b25 or b28 (but got higher compression and tends to be more aggressive compared to the b28) if you want to go for an e46 go for the m52(tu) as well cause less problems with Piston rings, therefore less oil consumption = more fun driving it.. the 330 (m54b30) is really not worth the money I'm telling you, I have a 530i with that engine and it toke some money to have it nice camprared to my 528i. Also run at least a 5w40 or 5w50 of you track them, they all get pretty high oil temperatures cause bmw did not get them oil coolers. The rest you'll find on the forums or from someone over in the US I guess. I have no idea what insurance and stuff costs you over there. I know tho that e36 are WAYYY cheaper in the US than in germany, there worth more than gold over here..🤮
