    Default powersliding!

    Go to www.car-videos.com. If you haven't seen it already, there is an amazing short video of a guy in an e32 powersliding round a motorway on ramp. It is the most mega powerslide i've ever seen on a public road!!
    Where can i get a slip diff for my 535, and how much might it cost?
    I love powersliding my beemer round roundabouts! I need a slip diff foir ultimate effect.
    I urge you all to put your cars in a low gear and floor that throttle next time you're on the crest of a bend.
    Its easy to control with the steering, the car will almost steer itself, needing only minor corrections from you.
    Start off at low speeds, like turning into junctions etc in first gear. Try and find corners/junctions with nice wide bits of road. Begin to turn in, and give it some! The more throttle you give it, the further it will hang out. You will soon get the hang of it!
    It is THE most satisfying thing about owning a beemer. Try practising in an industrial estate if you're not too confident.
    I never see anyone else powersliding where i live, and there are loads of beemers about and lots of great, quiet bends and roundabouts
    Not trying to tell any old hands how to suck eggs! Just want to spread the word!!

    One should expect that people on a bimmer related forum already know how to powerslide or else they wouldn't be able to drive it (especially in the rain) without getting killed (unless you have ASC+T). Majority of this forum is not very fond of drifting on public roads. Just to let you know, if you get replies you didn't expect.

    Btw., that's not an E32 - it's an E34 M5.

    Yea, its an e34, and i have seen it labeled as a 535i, which makes sense because it doesnt have the decklid spoiler that some m5s do.

    It's an M5. Decklid spoiler was optional - most of the M5s don't have it.
