335 with EDL and drifting through corners

wilkoal · 09-24-2008, 09:38 AM

is anyone able to get "smooth" drifting while cornering taking advange of the Electronic Differential Lock (clearly with DSC off).

I tried several times on dry conditions but the car reactions are very harsh (if not scaring)...got the car oversteering from one side to the other and back again.

I guess this is why a LSD is so cliamed to be important.

yup you got it. I hate the diff in the 335. It is downright dangerous at the limits since its not predictable. I would love to put in an LSD....one of these days.

My 2008 e90 w/ 265/19's... would drift cleanly and smoothly all day long. (DSC OFF, holding the button for 5 or so+ Seconds). I would drift in my parking garage weekly, when returning from lunch.

Around corners, getting onto on ramps etc... I have an SSTT & K&N for the only mods.

The part I feel is the scariest... is when you try to punch it w/ DSC ON, around a corner... and the car practically SHUTS OFF ALL POWER... because it doesn't think it can accelerate without spinning a tire!

I just sold it though... and picked up a 2006 M5... so I'm about to learn a whole new level of drifting!

Sounds like you guys need a Quaife!
