M3

[DRiFT Junkie]

Is the 04 M3 a solid drift car that can hang with the pros or is the newer premium m3 better?

 

[Powellx235]

Their all good. And no need for a new thread.

Use a 135i It's the best IMO

Yeah? You think i should make the tuning similar to my 04 M3 or change it up dramatically?

 

[eddyac]

For tandems I think the 135i(Comfort hard) is best It can keep up with big Boys ,Spirit R, M3, even LFA and vettes. I'm drifting it since a year and still loving it. Don't Know how you tune ,but everybody got a other Style

How I tune? I add a LOT OF TORQUE!!! lol jk i'll try to make some similar tweaks from my 04 to it and see where it goes.

If you got problems with it try to change the weight balance It got 50-50 Normal and I got 54-46 on it. Tune it till it fits you're style.

What you need to do is find a base tune for your style and apply to your cars. Followed by minor tweaking to match what each car tells you. Always listen too what your car tells you. 👍

Yea i know, i'm not going to apply the same or similar tunes for every car, i go to practice first and try out what problems are being solved or brought up and tweak it after each session until i get a damn near perfect lap.

Thanks for the advice though guys.

All E46 M3's in the game are legit. Prob my favorite cars in the game. With the right tune, they can keep up with most "fast" drift cars. The regular 04 M3 might feel pretty underpowered though (compared to the csl and gtr), but it's all in the transmission tune and balance of the car.

Can't find a CSL or GTR, do you have any up for trade?

just had a quick scroll through the comments. A base tune would be 'based' on a car that you absolutely love drifting (eg. your 04 sounds favorable). most FR cars can be tuned in a similar fashion to your favourite car and they should feel similar.

Anyway I like using the M3 GTR. laters

Yeah I got both. Which one do you want? Add me, my psn is fcpmarcus.
I won't be able to send you one until saturday because I have to send cars to other people

I'll take the GTR, do you want anything for it or...? I'll add you later tonight. You want me to remind you on your message board?

 

[fcpmarcus]

Haha nah its cool, I got all the cars I want/need.

Awesome! Much appreciated, i'll add you when i get on psn.

Eddy: that's a really bad idea. It will slow the car, its actions and its power response! Put a hard front (around 10-12kg) and soft rear (around 4-6kg) and it should glide nice and smooth with some toe and damper tweaking.

Klevrah: cars vary a huge amount! You cant take a tune from a corvette and stick it on an m5. It all depends on the dimensions of the car, its weight, its power, its suspension, its geometry, and overall chassis. I tune each car individually from my special base tune that (more or less) eliminates understeer. And it depends on the track and surface aswell.

It is pretty hard to procure a base to blend into all of the cars and what tracks you drift in though...

Hey bro we're gonna have to put that to a halt, i just bought a GTR. Expensive bitch, but whatever.

Sorry for double post.

You haven't spent enough time tuning yet.

As I said, its a case tune. I change everything once I get the feeling of what's needed.

+1 You gotta start somewhere right?

Use a 135i It's the best IMO

My 135i leaves even the fastest drift cars behind. I was tandeming with a ZR1 on suzuka and by the time I got down he hill, he was just coming around the halfway mark. The 135i by far my favorite drift car. And the 50/50 weight distribution makes it extremely easy to control no matter how sideways you get. That coupled witht the short wheel base makes it the perfect package. I also learned to perfect reverse entires with it because of how easy it is to throw around and leave on the limiter through a corner.

to tell you the truth I dont give a rats behind about all that technical aspects of tuning, I do have a base tune that goes into all my rides depending on drivetrain and build it from there, please note I did say "base" tune as in a foundation to begin tuning right? I can tune for points, tandem and touge off my base tune and have gotten far better than I was at it.

Because you don't understand it lol... This tells everyone how good you are at this game. Turns out, not very..
