Will the Slowest Rear Wheel Drive BMW Drift? - BMW 218i Coupe

[@ThenameisOskar]

The engine of 18i and 20i is a B48A engine. The 30i has a B48B engine, which is stronger and can handle 300+ hp. The A engine is limited to 260hp

Do you think they would notice at the yearly inspection here in Sweden, if i snuck a Volvo B5244T5 with an 400ps tune into a 218i and taped the B48 engine cover to it?

[@ThenameisOskar]

[@bachhunghoang]

I thought they just have different turbo and intercooler, on the G20, the 320i have smaller turbo than the 330i

[@PaulTC97]

Some people dont care. My parents bought a BMW 318ci e46 convertible back in 2002, they didn't know any better, it was dog slow with NA 143hp. They just cared about leather interior, white turn signals and the rear seat space which was better than Audi and Mercedes. Also they thought the Audi looked to bland and the Mercedes was too ghetto. Anything under 10 seconds 0-100 is enough being realistic.

Love the video, man! Very few people on KZbin actually take their time to review these lower spec cars. Especially, in eu countries where there are very high taxes on bigger engines, these cars are very popular. Also, regarding fuel economy, you could spec 18d and 18i’s in some countries with 17 or even 16 inch wheels for even better emissions and better economy

Does it do burnout that's the real question. I can drift front wheel with enough speed.. not related to power much

[@LOLatThefail]

What type of differential does this spec of 218i comes with? a lot of the drifting relies on the dif and not so much on power especially if you want to maintain a longer drift since something like OPEN dif will ruin the drift

[@Whyrureadingthat]

Standard open diff

[@danielsa990]

Great video Aziz, but just wanted to tell you that using the engine to break is most likely worse for the economy than just the brakes because you are revving the engine up.

[@azizdrives]

Actually the only thing it does is rev it up when you shift down but then it brakes and uses 0 fuel even less than rolling and breaking to then accelerate again.

"this is the weakest car of them all, BUT YOU CAN DRIFT IT!" 🤣 tbh I think the engine is not the biggest issue (and apart from the fact the ecu can only be unlocked by femto, I guess if you really want you could tune it and win an easy 100hp) but the spec of this particular car just looks so boring and depressing. If you really don't even have budget to either get a more fun engine or spec the car with nicer options/M sport then I'd advise to spend the money on a young second hand premium selection BMW that's better specced up. The new price of this is probably the same as an OG M2 N55 sold @ bmw premium selection. Ofcourse many countries have high emission taxes and some people wouldn't want to pay them so opt for a more eco friendly engine like this. Understandable.
