[matty]

hi all,well this is my first project,a bmw 318i. as im 16 i dont have much money or time for it but ill try my best. the plan is to get a 2.5 for it.all iv done so far is stripped out the inside so alot of work ahead. all help and advice greatly appreciated

Best of luck with it, the angle grinder will be your new best friend

I am also new to drifting, I am building a bmw E46 323CI with 2.5 Engine in it. When i bought the car, i was pretty sure the 2.5 engine was big enough - It's nowhere close to engough. So my advice is,if ur planning on getting an engine for it, look for at least 2.8.

Also, get diff welded, small wheels, and go do some practice and see how you get on, then from that you will know what u need to do next

2.5 stick with it and if shes a steel block she'll take abuse :P

2.5 is plenty of power man, have a 323 track car myself and theres more then enough power in it.
