Here’s something different to the usual JDM-style tuning normally associated with the drift scene. It’s a custom-built BMW E46 3 Series Coupe drift car featuring an LS3 V8, built by HGK Racing.
Yes, a BMW 3 Series Coupe with an LS3 6.2-litre V8 conversion for the sheer purpose of amplifying drift capabilities, and the width of smiles.
Built by HGK Racing in Europe, the custom-built E46 BMW 3 Series drift car has been converted into a complete competition-specified drift car with a custom chassis and single-piece nosecone and rear end.
Not content with the LS3’s stock power, HGK Racing has adapted a VEMS ECU system and an upgraded camshaft to bring power output to over the 500hp (373kW) mark. The unit is matched up to a Tremec five-speed manual transmission to handle the grunt.
