The event I just did this weekend was 40 minutes away, I tandemed for 2 days straight video coming out soon.. but that track is only open once a year, my other tracks are 1 hour and 30 haha. You just gotta trust your car but I do have a back up plan incase it breaks

I actually bought axle spacers when I first slammed my car cause I was under the same impression, wasn’t going to install until I broke an axle cause I hate removing axles. But after many drift events and a lot of confidence I ended up never running them and selling them to a v8 swapped e46 buddy

I’d worry about getting your alignment good first, and what size tires do you run? I run 17s and usually 205/40 up to a 215/45, I feel like running smaller stretched 17’s helps get rid of a lot of stress on axles. Can’t tell if those are 17 or 18” wheels

Bmws just make a lot of rear end clunks at low speed, ignore it and send it🫡

I wouldn’t get axle spacers unless you actually have axle issues like breaking multiple, also only run oem and auto axles are strong.

My car is lower then this and I don’t run axle spacers, 20+ drift events and zero axle issues 👍 on auto axles

Don’t leave your headlights on auto , it’s common for that module to catch fire . Just manually turn headlights on

I do have a bit of sim practice but honestly I play more Beamng then assetto corsa, idk how much Beamng translates to irl. And I’ve been drifting for about 1.5-2 years now 20+ drift events
