Anyone do drift days with their F87?

     Featured on BIMMERPOST.com
I've done two sessions so far at drift days, the car is insane sideways!

I had a S14 with an 1JZ swap with lots of angle which is since sold, and to be honest the F87 has way more precision and control sideways with a good alignment than that chassis did which blows me away - you can almost drive it sideways with the same precision as forward travel - builds crazy speed too

Like a modern Nissan S15

I think you might be able to drift in Sport+ mode with Euro + M4 GTS MDM Coding.

Sport+ has MDM yes. The Euro and GTS MDM does allow for more sliding but not sure if it's enough for a full drift.

Also the M2C MDM in Europe also allows for more playfulness on the rear end than the M2 MDM in Europe.


The short answer though is for a proper drift you want DSC off completely.

I have played on a skid pad but I think I am too old or perhaps wise to drift my M2 on a road.

I agree it's definitely a fun car to slide. I went to a car control event ended up just sliding a lot cause it was so easy with this car. Of course fun as hell lol.

It will allow you to powerslide but it's not going to allow you to chuck it into a corner at 110kmh and clutch kick it at full lock like proper drifting
