You got my respect for drifting without power steering. I lent my friend's old car without power steering few days back and let me tell you, after cassualy driving for few hours I had an excuse to skip my workout. 😂
@@blackframes5658 It’s not a drifting term. These days, almost every car has power steering, which means the steering rack is assisted, making it easier to turn the wheel. Unfortunately, mine doesn't have it, so the steering wheel is difficult to turn at low speeds.
This footage is exactly what ive been looking for to start this sort of thing myself. Always curious how people do it for the first time and its very encouraging !
Poor car haha he is trying to be inba garage...but so happy seeing this video...incredible. very difficult to do drift in that location. But also the car is in good hands😍😍🤞 beautiful drift and car mate
The rear end on mine goes out easily in the rain because the tires suck, so a wet road will make it easier to drift especially if you want to keep your tires in any decent condition.
As a daily driver of E82 coupé 120D open diff or (DTC/DSC switch) -> eLSD driving it stock is fun and all, but doing some serius drifts are hard af. Almost every day I find some time to do a little bit here and there but not that fun as closed diff(welded diff). The car should go through a lot of work to be able to drift well. THumbs up! You made some big improoving through those days :)
bro can you please teach us or atleast give us info of everything behind the camera, what gear you have used and how you shoot this, what were the settings and color grading too. i loved every second of this. its an art.
For those interested in the gear I use, I have now compiled a complete list: kit.co/BEMFA/pov-setup Want to know my camera settings? Join my newsletter: bemfanewsletter.beehiiv.com/subscribe
When I first got my E30 and drove it around for a bit, I couldn’t understand how people managed to drift these things 😅. But after getting used to it, it’s become like an extension of my body. I can't drive anything else with the same confidence, not even my E46.
@@OGBemfa Ive had mine for like a month and i understand where your coming from, without all the tec like power steering and abs and stuff, its such a raw and nice driving experience. But would you say without the extra weight, that mine stock would slide too?
@@Dexter-vn9je Wait for the next time it rains. I remember the first day I drove my car home after buying it. It was pouring, and I took a corner I’d driven a hundred times before - but not in an E30. Thanks to the RWD and poor tires, the car started to slide, even though it only had 75 hp back then haha. So yes, a 320i should definitely be able to slide, especially in the wet!
The stock E30 rear suspension doesn't allow for camber and toe adjustment 🤷♂. Anyway, I'm not planning on making this a drift car, so no need for adjustments right now.
@@OGBemfa Ah thats a shame, changing toe is a real quick and cheap way to change your cars handling. I guess you could also try some really skinny tires on the back like your spare wheel, should be cheap and easy to find as well.
@@lucasrxyz hahahaha no, that’s not the gearbox but something in the intake. Idk what it is but it can be heard in every one of my videos including e46 and e36. I have a mic placed near the air filter and it picks up every little detail. I really don’t know what that sound is. Maybe it’s the injectors, maybe alternator or perhaps the combination of different sounds. Maybe it’s even a by product of air hissing through the throttle body, I really have no idea 😂.
having a e30 myself i think there cars dont need the use of handbrake when trying to drift for example my 318i will drift with just a fast clutch kick and a quick turn of the steering wheel(completly stock without removing any weight)
@@viktoras.e30 It's especially challenging when you have to accelerate up hills, the wheels always spin up in 1st gear and 2nd if I don't shift smoothly enough.
@@OGBemfa oh okay, very cool! The 3.91 seems perfect for that car. I have a 325is with a 4.10 LSD and the gearing is awesome for backroads but definitely short for drifting.
@@ShakeNBlake509 Well it has an E36 engine and gearbox which means that the 5th gear is 1:1. That with a 3.91 diff is a bit short. Perfect on backroads but painful on highway. But I already have a 3.45 LSD sitting in my garage. I just have to rebuild it 😆.
What pressures did you put on the back? Just started watching but i know its going to be good as always. Edit: Bro says open diff is an excuse, its a veryyyyyyy understandable excuse, just by seeing that you are able to drift with it I have more expectation on drifting my E36 on dry when it gets finished!
The 350mm size is perfect, and it looks great. However, I do find it a bit firm. The leather feels too thin, or maybe the rubber underneath is too hard. Compared to other racing wheels, I think it could be softer. It's also not very comfortable on the thumbs. I prefer the Montecarlo wheel from my friend's E36 much more, but this one does look good, haha. I might switch to the MT1 or MT2 steering wheel in the future, though.
Nah, not really. It’s hard to mess that up. I could always tell where the car was going, even when I spun out. I knew the spin was coming before it actually happened. I never felt like there was a danger of hitting the tanker. Otherwise I would not be doing that because risking hitting a tanker with my E30 is a very very poor financial decision 😂
@@Tanmayx16 If I clutch kick it, the car will literally split in half 😂. The rear subframe bushings are shot, so the subframe shifts about an inch every time I do it. I really need to get that fixed.
I know, but when I did that off camera, I could feel the entire rear subframe jump up and down. The bushings are toast. I have to completely rebuild the rear subframe assembly, before I can start doing stuff like that 😆
@@OGBemfa oh man is it really that bad? i've havent tried to drift my z3 as I just got it but it has the same subframe as an e30. Is it the platform bad in general or is it cause of the bushings?
@@iuxanu It's definitely just the bushings. I can tell because when I jacked up the car and set it on jack stands under the subframe, the entire subframe lifted by about an inch!
@@OGBemfa are you using any lenses or similar attachments? or is it just raw recording + editing in post? ik its asking a lot but if its just raw, could i get your recording settings?
I don’t know about the car but try letting the wheel steer itself back to the middle (I’m not even the legal age to drive I’m just a pro at initial d at the arcade)
E36 edit at the end since I kind of felt like I left you guys hanging by forgetting to take outside shots of me drifting :/
The colors/lighting of this video are really nostalgic, almost as if its straight from our childhoods.
Idk if it is but it looks exactly like Slovenian lighting

@@adamn4017 Hahah yep, it’s a workout! I got used to it though, I had it as a daily for a year and a half.
whats power steering ? i don't know much about drifting

It’s funny cause I catched myself smiling when you started to improve haha the audio, image quality, POV angle… everything really cool, nice video!!
That was a pretty beautiful video , very pleasant vibe and pretty honest. Great work man, keep it up.
This might be a pretty hard car to learn drifting. The e30 as a platform is great but no clutch kick, low power, and open diff makes it a tall order
This footage is exactly what ive been looking for to start this sort of thing myself. Always curious how people do it for the first time and its very encouraging !
one of the best videos i saw fr keep going the e30 videos are in my opinion the best ones but the otheres are great too !
as someone who dailies a jeep wrangler on 35s without power steering i just know its gotta be scary drifting without it

Ey du machst echt gute Videos bitte mach weiter so 👍
hell yeah, great video keep going
open diff matters alot, I would suggest to replace it to a limited slip diff or smth else to make your learning drifting experience easier.

Try adding some toe out at the rear, it should help unbalance the rear end but be careful in the rain

am i tripping or at 1:50 the gearbox makes a little supercharger noise?

it would be good if u have shown as from outview
With low hp car the speed is a key to good drift, also if you dont mind, weld that diff.

Can you explain more about weld diff cause I’m getting e30 this year
