ANY DRIFTING ADVICE on these clks
hey guys,
i used to have a 1994 bmw 325i m technik manual gear box and I used to drift quite easily. I am having a hard time keeping the clk on track while trying to drift... this automatic gear box is really not helping...hehe
Any one of you found some good techniks??? BTW its a 5 gear
10x for your help

Where are you located? We've been working on some traction-control modules that might solve this problem for you ... if you're near Chicago, we should talk.

Micho... man u & I have same thinking 
I drift (or slide ) my car all the time... it all works fine (even with my 18's) until the esp interfere at the end..
oh... and I tried doin it in dyno mode... u should have seen the burnout that I did from standing....it was crazy
but driving without ABS is dangerous specially on our roads

Really?
Don't do it.
Tranny doesn't hold gears.
No limited Slip.
Too heavy.
soft suspension.
if you willing to dump the 10-15 grand to make it "driftable". you should have built a 240.

NP. Been traveling a hell of a lot, just finished a 4 day trip to Oman for scuba diving - first time off in almost 2 years. I'm going to be in Syria and Lebanon in late January, I'll PM you when all is confirmed.

hehe bro... I always drift it even with the esp off and it drifts to a certain extend and without it I do easily a 180 without really being hard on the car... but when you wana go drifting on some mountain roads it's really frustrating... well I guess I will try it tonight but not in the mountains coz I think I won't be able to write what I've done...hehehe

after searchin for a few minitues, i finally found it.
put it to dyno mode and and wwwwwwwooooowwwww 
.
I wasn't expecting so much difference, nice feeling in the curves but quite hard to handle... moreover I had to go really soft on the break peddle (that was fun)...it's funny to see this difference.
But anyway I didn't drive it more than 30 min to really do lots of things coz I was on public roads (not closed one)
have you noticed the same things???
