can also grind your brakes down prematurely in the rear iirc

And clutch

Brakes yeah, not too bad since you shouldn't be death gripping the brakes, just enough to keep the car from rolling too fast, clutch not so much, unless your clutch is already slipping.

personally i've never done a burnout

It's a great way to waste your money, it looks cool but it loving destroys your tires too quickly

god i wish some cunt would total my 330Ci so I'd have a good excuse to finally get an M3

were you drifting with the stock open diff or was it welded? I get rly sick of open-diff inconsistency but dont want to lose daily drivability by locking it. sick bike too btw

Idk if you've ever had to deal with insurance but this was my second go at it and I really hate dealing with insurance, luckily we ran a claim through their insurance and basically didn't have to spend any money, but still it took almost a month for me to get the money out of the car. I still have it too, idk what to do with it tho.

I was drifting open diff like a little cigarette, just clutch kicking in parking lots and in the snow and stuff. The burnouts really toasted the tires quicker. Open diff is a pain in the ass, but I found that if you Scandinavian flick and clutch kick you can get it to over-steer rather easily. I want to weld my diff pretty bad but it would kinda suck to daily if I did, it'd be really ass in the snow too.

Last time I posted here I had a 2001 BMW 325CI. I haven't touched the forums since January but I came across this thread and decided to update my stuff.
My 325 was rear ended by some cunt on her phone and got totaled. Used the money from insurance to buy myself a 328CI, here's some pics:








mods:
Angel eyes
Michelin Pilot a/s tires on the rear (blew out my last pilot sports drifting, they were on the wires anyway)

But the real update is this:
I actually bought a motorcycle at the beginning of summer when I got back from Europe. Specifically a 2003 Honda CBR600rr. I have to say to everyone here, if you've ever considered getting into bikes, PLEASE do it, it's amazing!
Anyways, pic:



mods:
TST Fender eliminator
R&G Integrated tail light
Ram fork stem mount
Dunlop Q3 Sportmax rear tire
It also has after market front turn signals, I didn't put them on though

I apologize for the image quality, the pics of my car were taken with a legit dslr, the other was taken by my phone, so its kinda ass.
Anyways that's it, probably going to vanish from the forums for another year

edit:
actually just looked through my last posts, posted here last exactly a year ago plus a few days, wtf

also why the forget do people try to sell their stuff and then just post pictures with the car just covered in garbage

Saw one of those on the interstate a couple weeks ago. They look fun.

Went out and took some mint photos of my 325ci.

So we went out to this really nice lake at sunset and took some pictures in front of an old 1800's church. Yes, I have balkenkruez decals on my back windows.








Then we went to a stretch of road near the highway and got some moving shots.

imo you should invest in new roundels and respray those kidneys

what colors are the interior? my leather is primarily dove grey with some black and i have aluminum trim

Yeah I need new roundels, they were broken when I bought the car. I like my kidney grills the way they are now. My interior is all black with wood trim, the wood trim is in pretty bad shape so i'm considering either buying new trim pieces or spray painting them red or silver.

I bought my 2001 325CI E46 with sports package about three months ago and love it. Here are some pictures of it:






I bought the car with the matte black wrap and I'm planning on taking it off at some point, the paint under it is gun metal grey.
It's mechanically perfect, has around 103,000 miles on it. I put an aftermarket head unit in it, which is a royal pain in the ass in e46s.

oh and it sounds loving fantastic.

Sorry guys, told you I was going to work on it. Then life happened and I ended up working 60 hours last week. No work until Friday so I should be able to do some work this week.

Yes this is a new topic, sorry, couldn't update the old one.

The König Yacht is a specially designed super yacht for sailing the oceans of Blockland. But it's mine, not yours, don't even think about taking it.

Below is a rough sketch of the design:

Day Five:
So I got some work put in today.
I started by working on filling the balcony behind the deck C suite, which will be mine



And then I built this lattice thing in the staircase to fill some empty space, I really like it.



Lastly I started working on one of the three guest suites which will be placed on deck A, I may change it around but I sorta like it.


Anyways, sorry for being dead for like 4 months but i'm starting to put life back into the project. This will be finished at some point, I promise. Tell me what you'd like to see, thanks!
