colab with drift hq theywill tell you and have all pparts needed
You need e46 steering, cheap and works, know it from european drifters
Also put the battery in the trunk, and use that spot for the pump

That is so much cooler than any mustang body swap
Jared.... you my dude, are one of the most humble and funny guys out there. Your knowledge of vehicles and drive to make "questionable choices" are why I keep coming back. Keep up the great work man.
Jared, I haven't missed one of your videos in years, and I can genuinely say that I've never been disappointed by a single one. You and creators like you are what makes RUclips great. Great energy, just a genuinely good guy. Please don't stop and never change my brother. You really are a gem.
You could relocate the battery to the back if you need more room in the future
This is one of my favorite cars in the fleet! I got to see in in person at Cleetus and Cars Bristol and thought it was wild how they’ve stuffed the big V8 in this thing! Keep up the phenomenal work Jared!
it's both janky and well engineered, so it's a fun quirky car. fix a few bugs and i think it's gonna be a ripper
I was thinking of how the BMW is like a corner missle... but ultimately figured the best term for it would be "The Sidewinder." Glad you're having fun Jared! Keep on doing "Questionable" things!
Every time I look to upgrade my car, something expensive breaks in my house. Last year, I went to a speed shop to get quotes on tuning. The next day, the furnace quit!
This year, I looked at a parts catalog for suspension upgrades. Later in the week, my house was hit by lightning. No fires, but EVERYTHING electronic was fried. My wife won't let me talk about upgrades anymore 😂.
I bet Tyler would be happy to see that thing behave itself 😂
Questionable? Bullcrap. That was just fun.
I’ve never actually been under the hood of one of those cars before but I must say that is kind of an awkward setup with the brake booster all the way up towards the front of the car! Hopefully once you get the steering issue resolved it should be a lot more fun to drift with! Looking forward to seeing the outcome! Keep up the good work, Jared!
that's not a normal thing. the booster was relocated in order to fit the big v8 in there. normally this car came with a 4cyl or in the fast versions, an inline 6, so the booster was mounted to the firewall as all other cars. this has a 4.x liter v8 from a 540i swapped into it, hence the problems he's facing today. the entire engine bay is messed with in order to fit that huge engine in the space that normally only fits a 2-3 liter inline engine.
Research the BMW E34 chassis; 530i(3.0L v8) & 540i(4.0L v8). It's the O.E. remote mount location, again due to the limited space & "shoehorn" fitment of the DOHC v8s.
It’s cause that’s a 540 engine from a 5 series which is a lot bigger so the brake boost was moved forword to install 540 engine
@@sanjeevsohal8954 yeah, I thought that was retrofitted in the car
@@ghomerhust There were also 4 cylinder cars with the brake booster located in the front -- even smaller ones :) like my Mk2 Ford Escort -- rear wheel drive :)
The front relocated brake booster is a normal OEM part in the 530i M60 V8 and 540i E34 :)
Jared, for space in the engine bay how about relocating the battery into the boot. This was a factory solution for the 325i model. The space you gain might provide enough room for the power steering pump. You could then add a larger air box behind the head lights.
I’d thought that as well
With a properly sized master cylinder and a revised brake peddle lever that provides sufficient leverage and he could eliminate that crazy brake booster setup and just put a Baer master cyclinder back on the firewall. Manufacturers have just standardized on power brakes because consumers insist they need them. And yes, you will find more manual brake setups on drift cars than you will boosted brakes. Same with drag racing, road racing, Ultra4, desert racing, etc, etc....
A Hoovie Hooptie "doing a 360 where noone else does them" then running reliably is an amazing accomplishment and that footage shows how well it paid off. Maybe move the set up to a stripped out 7 series so you can fit in it with a cage.
Was just working on my own little BMW (crappy E83, nothing special) and flipped open YT to find another Jared video. Yay! I hope you're feeling better! Dave J
Looking at the grace with which you drifted that car, I believe there is a perfect name for it. Der Schmetterling - The Butterfly. It's a graceful little thing with a directional idea but otherwise pushed around by physics, with the added bonus of sounding like a WWII attack plan.
Hey Jared, didn’t read all the comments so I am not sure if it was suggested, I spent some time in Okinawa and the Toyota Chaser, which you likely know, was always fun to watch drift on the streets and probably has enough room. Probably a little harder to get but, 1J….Love the channel and all of the collaborations, rock on my dude!
7:22 excellent jab at Freddy and Jack. 😂😂
Havent seen your vids in a while Jared, but I'm glad you're out and about and making a name for yourself. You deserve all the success. Good luck
I’d love to see you build and slide a big body car. Since you’ve liked the E30, maybe have a go at an E38/E39? Still could be using the same V8 you’re used to, but you’d gain room both inside and under the hood. Plus, you’d be a legend for sliding something that doesn’t really find itself in that scene
I've seen a e38 drifting on a tiktok video. Looked so wrong but so cool😂
I have a 1992 galant vr4 that makes 545 all wheel hp with working ac. Transmissions. Not a huge market for them and only 3,000 got sent to America. I swap 5 speeds almost every other year with another worn out 33 year old 5 speed. Getting old. Not blowing them up they are just worn out.
You should for sure build another car for more serious drifting with a roll cage and keep the E30 as a fun car, i would say find a cheap Corvette C5 but i doubt big boy Jared would fit in there with a cage. 😅
So pumped for you man, this is a huge win to finally have this car successfully hold up to the abuse of drifting and your driving style starting to shine. Let’s keep this momentum going!
I love these cars. My buddy had one in Italy and had it 4 years. Never changed the oil or transmission fluid and it had cut springs and a hole in the gas tank and he could never put a full tank of gas in it. With all it's problems I still miss that car. It was quick!!!
“The Roadblock-club” 🤣🤣
I can tell you, I launched my thee when I heard that! 😆🤭
That's some epic music during those drift scenes, well done Dwayne!
Great vid Jared. I’m on my 3rd year or autocross - took first place in my class for both Atlanta SCCA and Peachtree BMW CCA. I’ve been very intrigued with drifting. It takes a ton of skill and car control to do well.
Keep up the awesome content
It is so insane and fun. I used to poke fun of it until trying it. One of the hardest things is coming in as an experienced grip driver, remembering to let go of that knowledge and go for it
@@TheQuestionableGaragemy 330ci is too nice to drift with. But I’m building an e30 that may be a good candidate. Tires are expensive and walls even more so 🤣
Would love to see you at one of our autocross events at Atlanta Motor Speedway.
@@TheQuestionableGarageFYI Atlanta SCCA does a few novice only days for autocross. While I know you’re not a novice - may play easier for your schedule as it’s a much free-er flowing day. Likely easier to film etc
I use a Volvo electric/hydraulic pump on my Crown Vic-swapped F100. I think it works great. My pump is mounted up in the front inner fender. Just a 12V switched source, power, ground and plumbing!
I also have a M60-powered E34 wagon. Even in that, the booster is relocated.
That's why you build them, smiles for days and pure entertainment at the tip of your big toe!!!!!
I’m really enjoying the frequent uploads lately! Keep er up 👍🏻
That's the plan!
You can mount those inside but I’d recommend using a firewall around it still.
Although, the Volvo one puts out better pressure.
Jared if you watch some old Vidar Strand drift videos in his E34 with the turbo 3.5l straight six there is enough room and heaps of fun to be had, just a suggestion, I have a E34 540i six speed and it's so much fun.
It is normal for the PS blow by valve 'aka' pressure regulator is on the pump , they will be different values as the rack act on larger area so pressure is lower. you could put a external one as done by landrover owner who fit tractor based high pressure pump steering systems aka the dual piston tractor rack mod.
Great car and you’ve come so far! Great job Jared!
Thanks so much!
Epic endorsement!
Hey Jared, Love your videos, been watching them for years now. Thanks to you i got the confidence to do a questionable choice and start working at an old car at 18 yo and got it driving as a daily in Spain. I just wanted to say "Washwasser" (the middle button) means windshield wiper fluid and you pronounce kinda like this "uashuasser" the "e" like the first "e" in Mercedes. Bit weird I know :)
The E30 is such a fun platform for drifting. Just look at Jimmy Oakes and his car. I can't recall if his is caged but if its fun and works, use it for laps and leave the cage out. Make a seat time car with a cage that is comfortable for you and then take the time to make that work. Just use this to learn for now.
people often (very often) ask me what to buy for their new college student. i say "get a camry or accord or something like that." and they ask, "but dont you drive a vw?" and i say "yeah, but i also own a toolbox." haha i love my goofy vws, but you gotta like turning wrenches to daily one of those. also, i refuse to own one newer than 1998...
i just did the flappers in my heater box, and then 5 days later, the heater core broke haha, dash out TWICE in a week. yay. went quick tho, i was in the groove. this weekend, it's clutch time, and im thinking of swapping my rack as well, cuz in cold weather, the left turn direction is hard to do until the car is warm. i think it's the valve in the rack being dumb, cuz i replaced the pump and it still had the same symptom. but i have a full spare setup from another car i stripped, so im hoping to be able to get the clutch/slave done and the rack all in one day this weekend. i dun wanna mess with it this winter, too damn cold in nebraska!
an exo-cage e30 v8 would make a nasty awesome drifter.....
i gotta say, once you got those bugs ironed out, it really did sling those corners! with some tweaking its gonna be a top tier driver sled
Just put a wisefab kit on Earl, you already have it build to shred tires, just needs to stay sideways 😂
The plan is for a big angle kit of some type, as it helps so much in the burnout boxes
building a comp car from the likes of an m3 isn't a bad idea its just adding extra cost though , u'd b better off using a 325 or 318 . if size is a problem go up a model and use a cheap 5 series
That was fun, but could you leave the music out when you do the driving, because i just love the sound of the car tearing up the track lol. You always manage to find a way around thing's that wreck the fun. I know you were glad you didn't give up on the old girl, cuz she was doing it. G-d bless.
The water by the track added a little excitement 😂😂😂
It may be THE QUESTIONNABLE GARAGE, but Jared is The Specialist in finding and building a whole lot of answers to the strangest and hairiest questions!
I loved that lil BMW since the first time I saw it on Car Trek. Now you said it, you're a big guy and it's a small car. And you're doubting that even if you gut it you'll have enough space for you and the cage. So, maybe keep her as the fun little car? Unless I'm wrong, it still is road legal, so maybe keep her fun on both the drift track and on the road. Also, I'm not sure what accepted or not as cars in drifting, I know that the modern GTO (aka Monaro) was a thing back then (thanks AMT for having done a GTO kit in Rhys Miller's livery when he drifted one in 2005; that's how I know GTO were a drift thing), but maybe that's still too small for you, so maybe another Charger if they can compete? Yeah, that's another Charger, but c'mon you can never have enough Mopars! Or maybe a Challenger?
Super cool to see the BMW finally behaving itself! I'd say leave it as the fun thrash car and fully cage something with more room.
Hey Jared! Not sure if you remember me but I’m pretty sure you bought my FPV drone from me a few years ago! Just wanted to say I love the videos! Keep up the great work🤙🏼
I need to practice more with that thing! Appreciate it!
For your E30 rollcage fitment troubles, consider: Mclaren F1 style center drive E30.
For a name, how about "Clint" since he was the star in the movie, High Plains Drifter? That, or "Drifty McDrift-face".
I'd keep it the way it is since it is comfortable for you to drive now and it works. find something that doesn't look as nice and cage it. Good video man.
Seen other drifters have a thrasher car they can practice in and not worry so much about scratching or breaking along side their serious competition car.
Kuehl-vosser is the closest spelling pronunciation guide I can provide for the bottom middle button. I assume that is supposed to either be for Coolant or AC since the compound word is cool/cold water.
Just "cool va-s-sir" :D
Keep it for play and find a bigger one to cage. Then at least if the other one doesn't work out, you still have this one.
Jared loved it. Finally, a bema that works and you did it.
Possible name for the BMW......DriftenKruzen!
I have been noticing the lack of shop supervisor in the shop lately of the Pyrra lovers I am not alone
7:20 was that a shot at Tavarish? lol
Sure sounded like it 😬
There were quite a few cars missing important things at the show, from companies to creators. It was more ‘Sema’ build this year than the past few
Sounds purdy deadly that redline poppin
I’m trying to decide on the first mod to my 2019 Lexus RC350….that’s my project!
I've been fighting a dash lighting issue with my FC RX7 ever since I bought the car back in April 2019. I've had the light switch refurbished by a specialist, traced the wiring from the switch to the dash, and they still occasionally just go out. If I tap the dimmer rheostat, they will typically come back to life, so I'm quite sure it's the rheostat. Problem is, the rheostat is built into the headlight switch and that is factory sealed and next to impossible to open without permanent damage. NOS switches are available at a heckuva premium and I'd still be taking a chance on a 35-year old part. I'll keep swinging at it, though.
If you want another option? Saturn (Vauxhall) Astra XR. They have an electric pump with a quick ratio hydraulic rack.
Only problem is you want to drop the sub frame to get it out because it is in such a bad location.
Addendum: That pump is hard to find on the XR, and expensive. Took me a couple years to find one locally in wrecker after mine started to go. Zero reman support.
XE is standard ratio, different pump but much more accessible. ...Not sure how it runs on computer side. It has onboard module, but wonder now if there is external computer talking or just power. I need to check connector on old one...
At least that rack looks fairly easy to remove for all the fun repairs. Last rack I dealt with on a Subaru was a pile of poo to swap out.
I’ve been tinkering on a few different non-running Subaru SVXs I picked up cheap to get running again, one had been stolen with its keys years ago and the thieves kept them when they ditched the car. Trying to get the ignition cylinder swapped out from my parts car has failed over and over 😂. It’s not worth the money to get a locksmith out and a previous owner had already swapped the ignition cylinder so it doesn’t match up to the rest of the car locks 😢
when driftimg ould be nice to have more audio of the car than music :) vrrrooom
For the size issue buddy run a exo skeleton cage if possible then the interior can stay intact and relatively roomy ........
Silly question: if it's an electric power steering pump... Couldn't you mount it in the back seat and run lines? Or is there too much loss at that distance?
I have seen hard lines on Trailblazer racks break. It is usually between 100k and 110k . Those are not fun to change either
if you could find a cheap E46 M3, that would be my choice. the best inline six they ever made, and it should be big enough that you can fit with a cage and helmet
46 chassis was flat out one of the best things they ever made. just saw a MISHA episode (king of the ring) with a e92 m5 v10 stuffed into a prepped e46, and it was absolutely glorious. the thing ripped on the track, had epic brakes, turned tight and hard. misha said it was one of the best custom built cars he's ever been in.
Cheap E46 M3s won't have the big 3 done, meaning there are no cheap M3s. And generally, when 1 or 2 of the big 3 fail the car gets parted out, not sold cheap.
E46 m3s arent cheap anymore haven't been for the last few years. You used to be able to get them for £6k but now your looking at £15k for a shit one. £20-25k for a good one. E36 m3s are also no longer cheap minimum of £13k for a shit one and £18k for a decent one. So really the only choice for a BMW is something like a regular e36 or e46 with a six cylinder. 330ci e46s and 328i e36s and early e46s are still from £1500 for a shitter to £5k for a minter
I say keep it the fun little car it is now, because you can always build another drift car... y'know, one you can fit your hands inside of the engine bay.
Glad to see this little ripper back out shredding tires.
Great video !
U do choose a great music selection always ! Keep up the great videos !
I always wanted to learn how to drift. Closest I have ever got was an oh shit moment I somehow saved. 😂
As for a name…. Could call it Sour Kraut.
Didn't really see what idler you used to fix the belt issue, but a power steering idler from a 2.5 jeep tj (the non power steering version) might work. Pretty standard power steering pump bolt pattern.
Ohhhh Jared. You know ALL the issues I have with my car. But no amount of wrenching will fix the issues with my 43k mile 2019 vehicle as I'm sure it was built on a friday by an Italian.
If all goes well, we can hopefully fix it permanently next year
What happened with the name Plan B…(mw)?!? This should become a thrash car and build a new chassis, I like the idea of getting something with large aftermarket support as it will make your venture into drifting more enjoyable! Good luck!
Honestly, the bmw has been such a thorn I forgot it got the name plan b at Bristol!
Ouch did I catch a little shot at Freddy there lol love ya man! Hope you finally got the Mini Split stuff figured out!
This turned out awesome! Looks so fun, great to see you enjoy the build! 🤩
I almost forgot about that little Bimmer
Build a GT86! Find one with a blown motor, and put something in it. I hear blown UZ would be kinda cool :)
Great to see it out and running well!
Car names… Der/Dein Driftwagen? as for fitting car. An E36/46 build with a V8 sounds like a lot of fun. I like the spirit of the idea. What if BMW did E90 things a couple gens earlier?
If you want to solve the issue: go electric power steer. Yes it will mean you will need to mix n match but no over pressurizing from the V8.
I do have the love hate relationship with my old accord. No natter what i do i cant get ut to stop leaking oil or idle hunting (narrowed that down to three potentials but dont have much time lately to work on it)
What about calling it Schlip-n-Schliden? 😂
You need to put matching arch extensions on the rear too Jared.
widen the rear track width with an E36 rear subframe and some flairs.
For what you'll be using the car, I'd go with a roll cage that doesn't have door bars. You won't be going into any kind of really competitive drifting, so having a bar down the A and B pillar will be more than enough for you.
Some insulating foam around the bars near the roof for when you smack your helmet into it and it should be plenty good enough.
Keep it cheap but reliable, do't overthink it for things it will never do.
Haven't seen a drifting car bounce so much for ages, it looks like proper fun.
As for the pronunciation of the words, use Google Translate, the speaker button will have them read it out for you and, while full sentences aren't that good, it does a good job of single words.
The word means 'cooling water' btw, I prefer saying the word above it, it's more of a tongue twister. (and stands for windscreen water)
Mount the power steering pump in the trunk or behind the front seat
Being Mostly WUNDABAH!! I think is a good name for her! Since you got her running good!! Plus, she drifts like a champ!!!
If you decide you want to build an e36 chassis, I have one that's gutted due to some rust that's beyond my skill set, you can have for a conversation and a root beer if you'd like
Awesome as always.Thanks for sharing and taking us along
Glad to see you enjoying this beast!
Looking forward to another great video!
It's not a BMW any more - it's a BMT now ("Bring More Tires")! 🙂
Name ... SlipnSlide, use one of your cheap classic muscle to build a drift build, or cheap GMT360 with an Atlas6 turbocharged...
“Abtreiben” is a good German name for the car! It means to drift off course!😂😂 which seems to be what you do a lot!👌🏻😂
Whoa new drift car build, that would rock!
Remember watching you kill the burnout comp in Bristol last year with this thing
If it's that much fun, please keep it. Build something else to compete. It'll be a better fit and you will compete better. Plus you'll be able to come back and just have fun in this thing
The weight transfer on that e30 is just begging for much stiffer spring rates lol
yaeh, just trying old bmws for the first time, working on it often is no fun at all with the exception of electronics, the diag interface and software is really affordable. But they drive nicely. For your car: I'd finish dialing it in and then keep it that way. Parts are probably not that available and more expensive and there's always the risk of making it worse, especially by adding weight to a well balanced car. For regular thrashing, I'd build something with good parts supply, fun to work on and fitted for a cage with you in it.
Hi Jared nice video 📹 and workmanship i like the strps is there a design thats holding strong and weak at your location
Great episode. You can drive!!
Frkm experience I vote for an E36 as a cage car or 350Z which are surprisingly roomy, but leave the E30 the way it sits because it's so good.
That last part when you were drifting along with the Z, was great. It almost looked choreographed!
