How to Build a Reliable & Affordable Drift Car | Dirt Cheap E46 - Intro & Build Review

📸 Follow on IG: sdsgarage_

An introduction to my E46 Drift car named Klaus as well as a walk around of all the work I have done to get him where he is today.

As stated in the video I believe that most of the time and effort should be spent on working with what you have. Address the problem areas of your car, get rid of what you don't need anymore and upgrade the things that need it. Swaps and other crazy amounts of work only serve to take away time and money that could be spent driving and having fun.

Buy used parts, make it reliable and spend your money on driving.

I love e46s so much you say it doesn’t look the best but I say it looks real nice. 2 door manual pre facelift 6 cylinder. Perfect and black! 👌

im picking up a 5 speed 330i for 1800 bucks in two days and am planning on turning it into a budget drift build. i'm even more excited now after watching this video.

[BertusBuilds]

So informative. I’m trying to do the same thing here in Aus. Been loosing a bit of steam with the build. Inspired me to power on. Cheers. 👍🏻

Hey dude I know this is 2 years old, if you still have it, sell the catch can and replace the ccv system, it’s been tested and proven the stock system is by far superior in performance rather then an aftermarket part.

Good quality video bro, expected you to have like 100k+ followers

1800 for a 2 door 2.8, that's actually pretty good value I haven't seen a better deal myself i don't think

When I get out my cast bro this exactly what I’m doing

lol that sign in the back is hilarious

[Xx_ZombieDeathX]

Cool to see your from Toronto! Hope to see you around!!

It should have come with 193 if I’m not
mistaken from the factory, with cai and headers and extra fuel you’re probably getting an extra 15-20 hp from that. I own a M52tub28 with the MS42 and tune it personally.

I got one of these from a mechanic buddy of mine for nothing. Lil hood and bumper damage but the price to fix it is around the same of what its worth so think im gonna have some fun with this one

Looks pretty dang good for a cheap drift car! Quick question: what tyre size/pressure do you run usually for the rears?

[erlanmirlanov]

Love the video and that beast! Thnx for the video. I was about to figure out where tostart

[zonicxplicit]

Such a cool freakin video man! Thanks for posting this. Made me freakin smile!

[andivatar]

I think low - medium boost turbo will make it is less complicated than LS swap, and can be done quicker?
But sadly bolt on turbo kit for e46 is hard to find and can be expensive too.
nothing wrong with ls

[ikolpgnari]

According to Wikipedia, the 325 has 184hp while the 328 has 190hp. Hope that helps

[Donreptiles]

Dude dont tempt me. So many clapped e46 around me one with hydro, fdf, and welded diff i might go buy it now😂😭

[Pumajupes]

Please tell me what tire size and tire brand you were rocking on the style 37 I want that same tire fitment

[gazvlogs]

Putting an LS in one of these cars and ripping out the straight 6 is sacrilege. Rebuild the motor, put a turbokit on it and listen to the music. LS are like so standard they are boring to run into.

Hey man, I'm looking at getting one of these bmws to make it a drift build. I saw they've gotten a bit expensive though, where did you find yours?
