the e46 is the better tool for drifting as its got the M-diff. your right though disengage the TC in the c32 and the black lines can become a little long:rocks:
i loved the e46m3 it was the smg version and it was the nuts. i ve raced many on the road and always beat them when i was driving the c32.
Just to add alittle point about the 335d. i gave a lift to a mate of mine at the weekend to pick up a csl, 3 yrs old 900 miles on the clock, (that is not a mistype) and granted the csl isnt run in propperly but the 335d in a striaght line had the measure of it, the guys called jonathanturner and hes on the bm3w.co.uk site, ask him if you want 
however the sound that the csl made was utterley spine tingleingly amazingly awesome and i want one  |
totally beleive you steve, a re-mapped 335d would have the measure of a csl in a straight line:rocks::rocks:
