The diff needs some attention. Welding

..and put some black tape over the warning lights, or remove them...otherwise they will be forever bleating at you like a wife who wants more allowance.

Allowance?  You're doing that wrong.

Drift King ?

Yeah Dave! Hold your horces! It's the lack of Mohawk Is going to his head I think! 


Looks like some fun! 

Patience and me never got on anyway, unless it's regarding a certain mk2 build

Which has led me to a £140 policy, which might keep this on the road up til August.

Now insured for around £200 after a bit of to and fro and I wouldn't recommend ever bothering with Performance Direct for insurance, even if they do come out cheapest - guess what - can't complete the payment for the policy online, so go to phone and up jumps the policy.

Went with Be Wiser for insurance.  All good.

Have now spent some time at the helm of this thing, starting to learn RWD, which is great fun. Definitely needs some limitation in the slip of the diff.  Can't do donuts without it.

Folks had their camper with performance direct and they were a pita.

Must be something in the air as a friend picked up a 328 yesterday for he same reason

Every old BMW advertised on ebay at the moment is a 'potential drift car'.

Good price for a cleanish car TBF!
Hate that colour though
