Here’s How You Drift A Defective M3

https://autos.yahoo.com/news/drift-d...170016901.html

Question: What’s the best way to spend your last day with a “lemon-law,” 414-horsepower BMW M3 Competition Package? Answer: Kill its tires with a trained driver behind the wheel.

So, we set forth to the canyons of Malibu to film this M3 driver ripping off some quick power slides on a road with spotters at the top and bottom. You know, for safety. Because these are relatively harrowing canyons, the driver didn’t pull any massive smokey drifts. But you can still see this wonderful display of car control as he catches it perfectly on each exit.

Oh, and in case you were wondering, he turned in the broken M3 for a brand new M5.

This is a joke, right? Is the driver trained at tank-slapping?

Yeah if this was truly tank slapping he would've "high sided" and been done. This display of drifting was poor at best by this "trained driver" .......Phil

Almost looked accidental. I'm all for any M3 vido, but this is not flattering to anyone or anything.

It doesn't look like a lemon to me. Is that the stock exhaust? It sounded pretty good for stock.

Wow. You know if he would have totaled it, he wouldn't have gotten anything back from the lemon case. Stupid

Maybe you need to look up the definition of Drifting.... And what "catching it perfectly" means
This was more insulting than anything
