Drift BMW M3 E30 V8 4.4

After years of practice, this was the time to build our own drift car. We wanted something "funny" to build but still a very good chassis of course!

Then we remembered how good the chassis of the BMW M3 E30 was! A lot of people said, the M3 E30 would have deserved a more powerful engine than the 200bhp 2.3 16V.

There we are! Let's go for this crazy challenge : a 4.4 BMW V8 engine in a lightweight (around 1100kg) and stiff chassis!!

The car will go live at round 1 of 2008 Drift Series. Stay tuned for regular updates.
