Forza Motorsport 2: The Art of the Drift (Page 7)
Getting Started: BMW E30 M3 Drift Setup
1991 BMW Motorsport E30 M3
Tuning Provided by: Landin Williams
Overview:
Car Class: A 819
Power: 369 HP
Torque: 278 lb-ft
Weight: 2,071
Description:
This is the set-up used in all the drifting tutorial videos that are included within this guide. The E30 M3 is a great car to drift as it will naturally oversteer when upgraded. As opposed to the other 2 set-ups this car will feel much different. A less aggressive initiation is required to induce oversteer and you are able to alter your line during a drift without consequence. This car has enough power to drift almost any turn, but make sure to apply gentle throttle control when you are learning. Once you feel comfortable with this set-up you can pretty much apply full throttle throughtout the entire turn.
