Please tell me I'm right...

My buddy and I got into a debate on whether or not the 335xi coupe can do well on the track.

I told him it is no means a M3, but with a tune it can do fairly well.

Told him the 1/4 times etc, but then he says

"It's AWD so it can't drift."

My only rebuttle was: "Well...it CAN powerslide."

Help me convince him!

The fact that both of you think "drifting" = "does well on the track" concerns me.

To be honest, I've never really looked into track racing and all that jazz until recently.

All I said was a rebuttle, I'm sure there are times when both a powerslide or drift are useful on the track?

Sweet. Is there a reason they went with XI as opposed to the I?

Is it just me, or did he hit the wall when he went onto the track?

Aside from that, my car is x-drive and I've drifted it before. I don't track, but I don't see it as a hindrance.

That's the most impressive piece of driving I've ever seen, period!

I mean, I could eventually learn to do that but I'd need about 40 or 50 of the cars to destroy.
