We turned our BMW E36 Rally Car into a Drift Car with overfenders, an angle kit, and the sickest Work wheels we could find. But can we drift all of Apple Valley Speedway in it?
Donut = We like cars, and we like making videos about cars. Hopefully our videos make you like cars too.

Critical step before cutting: make sure there’s no wires behind your cut line
One might think they learned that since what happened with the Chinese truck 😂
This!, Cutting fenders on my 180 and have seen horror stories of people going harnesses for rear lights etc
Behind every warning is a story
Make sure you stole your Grandmothers credit card so you dont run out of money.
I won't ask you how you know
You guys should consider making a "Donut Holes" channel where you show raw videos from track days, etc. Would be super cool to see these laps uninterrupted. Maybe like a bts division.
Underrated comment that is a legit idea
Yeahhhhh!!!!!!
plus isn't unedited video super easy to toss up? just a huge long form content dump.
@@meyahtyeah usually most channels that do yhat will just get specific clips and minimal editing , so yeah pretty easy comparatively
Plus like, more money, and it's sure to bring other fans over to this channel eventually. We just want more DONUT!
This was like an entire season of Money Pit in one episode
Which is too bad. Would have been more entertaining. But they don't have time for that anymore it seems.
@@Alice-ki7osbro, come on. This is not our way and this is not how our Prophet would have like us to invite others into our religion. Honestly, f off.
@@Alice-ki7osanyway, goddamn bot!
@@michaelshaw6242 i agree. it feels like we, the audience lost so much of the action. one of these mods alone could have been a whole episode alone. the new videos also feel so out of touch. it feels like they are showing us things as if we were a crowd watching from a distance compared to how the old moneypit episodes were when it felt like we were there following zach through every step. also i dont think time is the issue. they still did all the mods. all the recording. they just didnt go in depth.
anyway i miss their old style of content. now it just feels like im reading a summary of every video they do
genuinely my fav series - that and hilow
12mins is far too short for this sort of build. Yes, it’s stuff you’ve done before but it still is mad cool! That wrap is pure 🔥
I wish these videos were longer. I feel like im missing out on a lot of action with getting so much done in so little time
honestly same, like on the final run, why cut so much?? we wanna see it rip!
Yeah would have been better to wee the whole thing, with the top view inset on one of the corners being visible all the time.
Pumphrey just hanging around on a BMX talking up everything is hilarious, and the epitome of his role at Donut! It feels right.
I couldn't help smiling when he popped up on his. Bmx 😂
That's a cruiser...
That's not a bmx that's some ebike
That’s a cool dude ngl
His hat.
This video feels at least half as long as it should be for the amount that was done, show us more!

Please tell me I'm not the only one thinking that Jobie is the REAL shop daddy..and Adam is just that really fun uncle that shows up on holidays lmao 😂❤
zach's intro slide was out of this world, i know damn well the cameraman was shook after that
I'm just glad the m3 is back, it probably was dead from being sat there for so long 😂
@@THE_Game_Mentalits a Base model
ALLAH
donut will do anything to avoid bringing back up to speed
Pretty sure they cover all the up to speed unless you want a up to speed on a prius.
Aye, would have loved an Up to Speed on the Ford Falcon
It’ll be up to speed on industry topics here soon
@@rustybros to be honest, I really want an up to speed on a prius
@@agent11co90 It's already a thing
I’d love to see more build series for stuff like this rather than just condensed videos
I really appreciate that you all actually showed and explained the installation of the body kit. Closest I’ve seen to moneypit Miata in a long time. I’d love to start seeing more like this again
I feel like I’m missing out on a lot of new car information, I wish there was a video format where you guys could get me UP TO SPEED on everything car related
I miss up to speed and their deep dive segments into awesome cars and car tech, but there's only so much they can do on those topics. Both of those segments have over a 100 videos in them.
Or maybe something like a video series where they go over a car from BUMPER TO BUMPER?
Maybe Up to Speed could return with episodes about well known modification makers(like Rocket Bunny which they already did)
@@Grif91 Ahhhh yes it was called Bumper to Bumper! My favorite was the B2B on the Le Mans winning Corvette C6R
You people are like a little kid asking "Are we there yet?" 😂
you guys should put up longer form videos of your builds. would love to see more from donut... or a sister channel with longer form videos.
Yeah they could do more content with the same amount of garage work
yeah I keep thinking, this video could be 3x as long, no problem. It seems like these are almost trailers for the real thing, there's so much cut out
Omg a longer video format channel called LongJohn
Or Bagel lol
That’s kinda what OG moneypit was.
I love how over the course of this channel the cars themselves have kind of become like characters in a show. Nice to always see them.
This episode was just too short ! We want more but congrats on that great lap !
Day 391 of asking James to do an Up to Speed on his Dad

You got this
nice commitment
Signed
please stop
9:48 AAAHHH !! Ok! … I was at the Zumiez event and saw this car in the parking lot near to the Donut van and was like “Where did this come from and why does it look familiar?”
Not going to lie, I love the Rally spec car beforehand. Awesome video non the less
I've been watching donut on and off since the earliest up to speed episodes. The channel has changed since then, but the positive attitude is still as infectious as ever. Thank you for being in my life donut
I know it’s more expensive to produce but I love the videos where they actually go to the track. I’d love to see some more where they compete for times. Also would love to see some actual rally driving
What a fun episode! Y’all rock
This episode is just the whole donut team doing a quick "Need for Speed" like customization to their Beemer'. Love it. 😍😍😍
Kinda sad to see was always hoping the rally car would come back and we would actually get to see some first time rallying. already have the Z's for drifting but hey maybe Zac just wanted his own drift car i guess? Not much good rally content out there so always hoped it would come back
Rally guys are just such a minority outside Europe honestly, best thing we got was watching Ken Block with his factory Hyundai wrc car
Me too m8, I was really excited for this build as a rally car. I love drift cars as much as the next guy and the car does look sick, but I wanted to see a cool offroading machine coming outa this thing. Still a good video!
The beamer should have always been a drift car. They should have used a Scooby, Evo or Audi for the ralley car. Something with AWD
i feel u, rally in NA is so far behind our euro bros, also considering how hatches and small cars are like the least popular body types in the NA market it makes sense that donut wouldnt be focusing on a rally based car, their audience is mostly NA too
and theres already a billion drift builds now, maybe soon in the future things will swing towards rally but i doubt 😪
@@linds6609 there are a lot of drift cars on the internet, donut already made some drift cars. A rally car was cool, even if they should have used an evo or an audi, it was original
this has to be a hotwheels collab. i'd love to see a miniature version of this car
A full donut media hot wheels line
I second
Hilow hot wheels when
yo donut! I love your content. Im super glad this vid came out on my bday, just a coincidence but made me happy!
HEY! Everybody at donut! I think you guys killed it with this build! As always i love the videos! Currently working on my honda accord that has a cat back needs installing
12:01 Freaking slinging that wheel with the calmest face of focus ever! lol
donut at the start : thoose fenders are durable. also donut at the end : fender allready broken
It would be logical to have more clearance between their wheels and fenders but I guess they'd rather have suspension that looks like the car got stepped on.
@@bwofficial1776 Past a certain point, you need an angle kit like they show for wheel travel anyway. A lot of them are adjustable. Also, a common thing with drift setups is more camber in the front than the rear. It looks stupid, probably, but it does work.
I loved this episode! The crew was just giving a slightly different vibe in this one. Especially with all the allusions to possible future mods
Donut just made every single automotive youtube channel series in one video
The focus Jobe had during the final run was on point!
Incredible. I cant imagine the amount of work you guys did for this one episode. Long live Donut. ❤
@Alice-ki7os im good thanks x
@Alice-ki7os what doctor says?
Zack makes drifting look effortless ! What a talented man :D
Love how the build turned out, and that top-down drone shot at the end is sick! 🔥
Swapping the e36 for a drift car from a rally car just means donut owes us another ralley car build.
Sick drifts bro
i wish videos like this were longer, or even a series with a build like this would be super cool in future
I love this, drifting/jdm style videos
LOOOOOOVED the overhead shot as Zack was drifting through the curves, with the video game noises. Bravo!
1:50 - Love the wheels on that BMW in the back; I think I have the same ones (VMR?) on my GTI.
also, this is such a fun build. loving these vids
Great stuff, guys, love seeing a fun build
Now this is Donut! This kind of content and hi low are the reasons I love this channel!
I want this build as a daily.
Yes ! 😄
"honey, I need this so I can get to work faster"
This low with this little interior?
if your daily drive only involve a drive to mcdonald that is
A daily 💀💀
James then:thank you to square space for sponsoring this video
James now: GET OUT OF HERE!!!!
Zach(k) you absolutely killed it on that track, so smooth!
Definitely need more episodes of this series.
Yo, that wrap almost deserves its own episode, lookin' siiick!
donut be kinda dropping bangers latelly and im liking it
Another classic awesome episode that car is gonna be even more bad ass once you finish it
That overhead shot of Jobes driving the track was super sick 🤘
Oh man they got three drift cars in the stable now including the Z's! Can't wait to see what they get up to with this thing
I miss the Donut content like this, I followed this channel because of Money Pit and Science Garage, Up To Speed was also awesome because I loved to learn. But this channel is slowly turning into a glorified reaction channel with click baity titles and other silly things that I personally don't enjoy watching as much. Good God, I hope you guys see this and remember where your roots are, remember why we loved you to begin with, please do not lose the spirit of Donut.
Quick and detailed video....I loved
You guys should consider making a "Donut Holes" channel where you show raw videos from track days, etc. Would be super cool to see these laps uninterrupted.
Always loved your channel guys, sick episode. But also please bring back up to speed and science garage ❤️
That looks sick donut!Amazing job,they should add this one in forza!
If they can get sponsored by WD-40 I'm pretty sure they could get a Collab with Forza.
@@Zachary-qc9hx They already have a collab with Forza.
Which Forza is it?
@@Zachary-qc9hx forza 5

7:56 😈 I know what you think...
*NOS!!!*
*MORE POWER BAYBEH!!!!*
4:01 This is a dead ringer for Tim and Eric’s Prices skit and I love you guys for it. Also the hair/makeup is a dead ringer for Casey.
This was probably one of the best donut video in a while. Car went from zero to hero and we didn’t have to wait for part 1, 2, or 3. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Donut media! Please bring back Up To Speed!!
James on the bike had me dying 😂😂😂
I've been replaying NFSU2 and watching these mods is really doing it for me.
can we just talk about how you can still see the red paint with that wrap
Right? awesome wrap, but man did they apply it a little whack
@@rfrbz1269 maybe they did it without all the care, cause they might bang up the car
a bosozoku style exhaust would be so dope
That was still a good mild video!! Good content! Thank Jason for the help!!
man that Donut livery looks fresh I feel like this has been a long time coming for you guys to finally have a "the donut car"
Should strap a supercharger on it like the VF kit, since you already put a turbo kit on the Miata id like to see the install differences 🙏🏻
The fact that their quality improved so much, and the content keeps getting better makes us more and more entertained, keep up the good work and congrats on the 8 mil subs Donut!
The content isn't really getting better though. I want to see the journey, the struggle of building and modifying the car and only then, the glorious result of all the hard work they did. This video is just a quick Happy Meal kinda thing, so short that it's basically a montage, all in order to quickly get to the payoff and keep all the ADHD people interested. That sucks. That's not how us, the viewers connect and get to know and love the hosts and the cars. It feels too impersonal and soulless. Love the stuff they used to do like Up to Speed and the original Money Pit. This video here is more like something you might watch half way through on tiktok while mindlessly scrolling to kill boredom.
@@Renee_R343 yeah, I do kind of miss those and tbh, do prefer if they bring those back
Seeing this car at the zumies signing before the video was made is a treat. Love yall!
We need some drag racing builds. It's a big gap in Donut's repertoire. Let Uncle Jerry build a burly 'Merican V8 tire burner.
Nice drift kit. Except you definitely trashed the wheel fenders, exhaust, and your rear bumper. They add no value to the performance. That is what you call a ricer build. Don't be surprised if Drew Peacock slides on by this video and roasts Donut media's build. Poor E36
Okay boomer
@@big____rich4560 Okay zoomer
Its for the looks brother
From a unique rally build to a basic ass drift build
Damn this channel is hitting new lows
Wah wah wah
I think it is it's uniqueness that "killed" it. While it is a cool idea and definitely more special than just another drift car, it is surely harder to think of content for it. I mean they have done plenty with the rally build, they have shown us how to build it. Realistically speaking, there is definitely a wider audience behind drifting than there is behind the rally stuff, at least here on youtube. It kinda sucks that they didn't do more with the rally build, but I'd not say that they are "hitting new lows", just because they changed their mind on what they want to do with one of their cars.
Not to mention the half-ass job of mounting the kit and cutting the fenders/bumpers.
you can literally see the red in the doors behind the kit after the wrap
@@omgf0wtf they could've just left it as a part of their unique and special builds garage, not turn into another bland e36 drift car like we don't already have a billion of those everywhere
I said they're hitting new lows because all this channel has been doing is content for the general people and tiktok kids, not car enthusiasts like it used to be.
@@jackdren9974 well, can’t argue with that, that’s a fair point, I also don’t appreciate the approach of “let’s do everything quickly because your attention span is 30 milliseconds” but sadly that’s the way a lot of internet content is these days.
FINALLY I BEEN WAITING FOR A DRIFT CAR VIDEO
my fav donut video yet
I was waiting for this! Cant wait for the turbo build😏
this video literally made my whole day just by watching it, its always my dream to build drift e36, unfortunately its hard to get all the things here on where i live in, like a decent engine itself need about 10k to made it drift worthy, and also its hard to get the m3 engine, no bodykits that cheap enough to get, angel kits? it cost 2k here lol and its only the entry level one, rollbars can cost about 3k - 10k, you guys are living my dreams lol, im 18 and just tryna to compete with other drifters on my country, BTW i live in Indonesia, thanks donut for making this video its really made my day!
Great timing to start working on this car, I just brought 1, manaul swap and overfenders, got the 2 tutorials I need
Best Rocket Money 🚀 Commercial EVER! Hands down! 🙌🏼
anyone else love getting ads made by Donut on a Donut video?😂💛
8:22 is such a car guy moment lmao
That's what you do after wrenching with the homies.....you just pull up a chair, sit back, and stare and admire for X-amount of minutes 😂
I'm no professional, but it seems like Jobe can really drive.
At any rate, another good video. Wouldn't have minded if it were a few minutes longer, but really enjoyed it.
honestly, a channel called "donut" building more drift cars is fair
As a E36 fans, I love this so much! 🤘🏻
God damn you guys can really build whatever you want. Can’t wait to see what’s next
The wheel wells on that thing are awesome!
I love the retro sponsors. It's so cool
I really support giving it more power!
(…and maybe fixing the little issues with the bumpers and fenders, too.)
Whoaaa .. Amazing stuff.. Love you guys and your content. Never fail to surprise me.
"You did what now to the body"
I like how jimmy start getting
worried haha
Best video in a minute. The game shows are fun and all, but this is peak content. Now if we could just get another Up to Speed.
NEVER STOP MAKING THESE ZACH
Love all the content! Would love to see some raw or longer in-depth videos on the full car builds start to finish ❤ ok not everyone is into that tho 😅
Oh man id love to watch yall do a N/A build on this e36
Sick drifting skills
Im so happy this video came out on my day off
James : a little more power babyyy!
I see where this is going , yo an engine swap BABYYYY !!
I wish this video was longer! it could have been like a few episodes even
Very glad you guys are working on the e36 again. I bought one recently and its my first build ever. Finally in a position in life where i can throw money at something. If you guys ever blow that m52 engine you should m50b25 swap and boost it!
Great job guys. It looks beautiful.
