Oulton Park Introduction to Drifting - 24-May-13?
Discussion
Thought it was about time I learnt to handle the Z4MC in the same manner I did the e34 M5. Only because the Z4 seems so much snappier when you're trying to slide/drift it, possibly due to sitting so close to the rear wheels rather than in the middle of a 4-seat cabin.
So anyone else attending this?

This is right up my street... need to do a track day or two to wear down the tyres first though!
Let me know how it goes and if you recommend it
It's a low grip circuit and they've said the only way I'd use more than 1mm of tread was if I was doing burnouts on the approach roads.Let me know how it goes and if you recommend it
It's dirty from my London to Liverpool commute anyway, so a bit more dirt won't harm it.
Hopefully some of the holes at the edge of the track have been filled in - as I wouldn't want to rip something off if I accidentally go wide.
There's also a test day on the main track that day, and I've got some friends who may be taking their Kumho BMW there for the test day.

Excellent video. I knew I should have filmed my laps, but I was planning on leaving all the gear in the boot until I was comfortable with the track, but never actually got it out :-(
On a side note there must be so much crap in that pond, the dirt has taken a load of clear coat off my paint. Luckily in an area which is due a respray.crimbo said:
Your black m coupe sounds lovely mate, not to raspy like e46 m3's do
They normally do sound quiet & raspy, but Rogue Diablo rear cans sort that out 
Would have loved to have a switchable titanium one, but they're £2k second hand. I picked these Diablos up 2nd hand for £600 from someone who bought them and thought they were too loud. Not had a problem with their volume in 30k miles, and never been refused track access due to noise limit.
Trying to get some M-Powered mates to come to the next one, so there might be 4 or 5 e34 M5s there. Of course they're all threatening to come in their boring daily drives (e46 330ci, e46 330 touring, e34 525i).
However, it looks like the day was not as cheap as I'd hoped, as despite my rears having 4mm when I started, they're VERY close to requiring replacement now. I keep telling myself that I obviously mis-measured them in the first place
