Arrow How To And How NOT To Drift Your e92 M3

Just found this video and thought it was pretty amusing. Not so sure on the "let the steering wheel spin through your hands " bit, contradicts other things i have watched, but the guy is pretty impressive .
And be careful you e92 owners, dont want to land up doing what Phil did

Wow he got lucky, I thought that M3 was a goner, but it may have just been the angle of the camera.

drifting is just like dragging your feet while running. dont see the point. it's no different than making doughnuts. bla.......

While it is for sure not the quickest way around a corner it still does require a large amount of talents and knowledge of car control. When I was about to get new tire on my old E46 i tried to teach myself and it is MUCH harder than it looks.

Yea but if you run around dragging your feet you look like a retard where as if you drift round a corner you look cool

Although the purpose of drifting is questionable, it's fun as hell. Plus, if you can master it powersliding is that much easier.

evo mag did this with an older M5 awhile back. I thought it was a better explanation honestly.
