Drift?
Anyone out there drift f30?
Ive drifted a manual 350z but not auto bimmer. How do you guys drift f30 auto? Ebrake cable (cable or hydraulic?) and evrake pad strong enough to withstand constant stress over time?

"Drifting" an auto would be similar to a manual car. You should be able to manually select the gear you want to be in on the auto. |

Anyways, you basically have 2 problems: 1. Power/torque on the 328i. 2. Open differential/lack of a limited slip rear diff |

i know that and was curious to know what they are doing to overcome those issues. Suspension setup, technique and such. Also i came from v6 so its quite different from 328i with turbo.

ROFL.
Seriously though DO NOT pull the E brake while in gear on an automatic!!! Where exactly do you envision the drive train is going to slip between locked wheels and a running engine. |

Nothing happens. I tried it once at low speed on a ice track to see how the car reacted. My car nicely asked me to put it down again because I was driving. Then I tried the same at 50mph and got the same message.

The main obstacle when trying to drift an F30 is the open differential (E-Diff). This essentially means that power is sent to the wheel encountering the least resistance. With the DSC off, you will end up with one spinning wheel. With the DTC or stability systems on - the car will try to apply brakes to individual rear wheels in an attempt to transfer power. Either way, you will find it extremely hard to hold a drift.
