Void a warranty on what the rear axle or the tires. Like they'd even have a clue anyways.

So this means BMW's LSD for the M135i/M235i is drift-approved ?

I loved watching the video! He sure is a great driver and has full control of the BMW! I also like how he showed the best seating position. Unfortunately, I have to raise the seat as high as it can go due to my very petite height but his arm position helped me. He was sure fun to watch.

What he is saying is you need to go as low as you personally can go and yet still functionally be able to drive the car

You can drift with the e-diff with no problem. I assume his car had the ///M Performance LSD. You just will not get full lock with the e-Diff is my understanding. A true LSD transforms the car, but BMW made their LSD to expensive for the average buyer, thus limiting their profit margin at the same time.

That track looks like it has dirt/sand all over it. It makes complete sense why it was a handful at times.
