How easy is it to get the rear to step out/powerslide

wantam235i · 07-01-2021, 02:25 PM

About to close on a RWD m235i on Monday, was wondering with traction off, how easy is it to powerslide around corners in the dry? The car I am looking at does not have the mechanical LSD. Convince me I didn't make a mistake by not going broke over a c63 amg

C63 is one hell of a car. Such a fun car to drive and so much power, so much in fact its comfort mode power feels more like the sports+ mode on my m240i. With that said, if you are not going broke over a car, you are are definitely not making a mistake.

Kinda tuff to be fair. Car is set up with a lot of understeer from factory with such little camper. Dinan springs and a tune should be good for your goal. Worst comes to worst the lsd is 2k which is still much less than the c63

The AMG would be easier to powerslide however on a track both would be relatively for a knowledgeable driver, if you are referring to powersliding the rear end on the street - well please post the video when you slide into something.

It’s easy to do power slides, it’s just annoying how stupid you feel that you are burning up tire to not actually go forward. Power slides would be a million times more enjoyable with lsd.
