Drift My Ride Ep 35 - OEM+ BMW E46 M3 Compact S54

This week we have a beautiful E46 compact owned by Myles Moir. This is no ordinary compact however, it has a full E46 M3 running gear and complete front end dropped into it! With custom front wings to blend the normal coupe shape into the compact, and genuine E46 M3 rear arches fabricated & blended in, this compact looks amazing! That's before we get to the 343bhp engine, 3.07 diff, BC coilovers, full roll cage and custom steering kit. What a car! Owning an E46 compact, Craig is already a fan of the car but he goes nuts for it when he gets to drive it - full on 90 degree entries into the esses!
Myles has taken a lot of time to prepare the car and keep it in excellent condition whilst still being drifted each week. He has some fantastic sponsors keeping the car going, and we wish Myles well in his quest to get himself and the car into Driftcup in 2019.

My old 325ti compact made 188bhp . BMW add .7 of a litre mixed with a bit of m division magic and gains nearly 160 bhp M engines are mental

[@VadarG59]

woo hoo! the consistency of these uploads are brilliant! best review bids going, think it helps we're Scottish 😁

[@DriftlandTV]

much appreciated buddy! hopefully the number of subscriptions can increase soon to keep us going!

[@nickriley1652]

Does the Rear Axle Carrier Panel (and subframe mounts) have to be reinforced, or is the compact chassis stronger than the other body styles?

[@opopa456]

i got a e46 compact. i want to make it a compact m3 or a compact coupe but finding it super hard to get wings. is there anywhere to buy them or even get some custom made?

[@friguy4444]

I've never seen a "Compact E46" Chassis before. I'm guessing they only came out in Europe? Canada never got them I don't think. Love the car the video just great! I've got the E46 M3 and this makes me want to gut it and just go lighter all the way. But in Canada I need my heated seats in Winter LOL.

[@DriftlandTV]

Think so - they weren't too popular but the 325ti is a gem!

[@driver694]

I own one lol. Its a fun car and pretty practical at the same time. If you are fine with the weird looking Stock Front its an awesome car

[@mougmeduro7017]

They were also sold in Australia and New Zealand strangely. I own one.

[@jeromevet007]

i know late :P , i also have one and love it . altho that front end is not the original front, it has round headlights. this one has the front of Coupe E46

[@Peter-oz8ec]

Does anyone know if there is a demand for the bog standard 316 ti to be modified etc ?

[@tristanmacgillvray]

Someone had to do it 😅😅😅

[@kennyest82]

That lock 😍

[@starfox_wr-45e93]

Mint little motor he's got there. Great vid as always... but does anyone outside of Scotland do any skids? Plz lads and ladies show us what ya got

[@DriftlandTV]
