4:34 Not only you turned off the traction control, but you also turned off the stability control.
The stability control helps to prevent the car from losing control. And what it does, is it works automatically to help the driver maintain control of the steering of the car, during hard steering maneuvers.
okey boss !
Before watching the video let me say YES, you can drift it. I used to have a "winter beater" E61 530d 218hp car that I used for a year a beat the crap out of it. It was absolutely perfect for drifting in the snow. The car was extremely smooth and pleasant to drive due to the long wheelbase. The boaty suspension is super good for doing rally type snow drifting in the mountains where you need the suspension travel. Just weld the diff, put on some tires with spikes and go in the mountains rallying.
honestly you can drift just about anything with rwd, i can manage to drift my 90hp 30 year old diesel nissan, the locking diff does help
i used to drift my "90hp" ( i think it had less) suzuki vitara until i sadly crashed it, for not paying attention while driving. don't be dumb like i was guys.
In the snow you can drift even your granny…
@@raumarottweiler82 nah not in the snow
you must have money like grass if you buy an e61 just to ruin it
Straight pipe, stage 2 with hardcut.
And coilovers will help alot! :)
Try plugging out your MAF. That will show if you have a vacuum/turbo leak which might be why you dont get that much power under 3000rpm
I believe i have a vacuum leak/turbo leak..what do i look for after unplugging the MAF?
@@snapz1115 On my m57 e39 with similar symptoms to fahre's e60 the car was way more powerful with the maf unplugged. Tried changing the maf as I obviously thought it was faulty, but nothing changed. It ended up being a leak in the turbo system. Worth testing
@@williamskagen9901 I had a e46 m43 engine, used to do the same, i swear, it was as good as a turbo, so hot infact, the manifold used to glow.. on 318. never was able to replicate it in any other e46 or e90 i have since, it was pure mental.
i just bought a 525d 2009, i love that you have one so i can see what works and what not on these models😅
I used to drift with mine 525d 163hp e60 with manual like crazy it was best car I had for drift, ever!
This is awesome, keep up the content !
You can get a wisefab angle kit for the E60, weld the diff, put some coilovers and a hydro, remove like 300kg of interior and electronics and it would make for an extremely fun drift car to have fun around in the rain.
My dad had this car when I was younger. I still love it. Sadly he sold it a couple of years ago : (
i have e60 530d now for 7 years, and its a good car i like it
A remap would do the thing but its a good cruiser because its heavy nice intro boiii
Also btw I've had two e60s that I've drifted. I notied at high angle you really felt the ackerman steering making the front tires rub against the road in an unpleasant way, which made the front of the car vibrate a lot. If you wanna do any serious drifting with it you need to find a way to get the ackerman down to 0 but with the stock front suspension setup I don't really think there is a way. The Wisefab for this car which is out of the E90 chassis with adapter kit replaces the whole front geometry and makes it so you have 1 arm per wheel instead of 2, like in the style of e36 and e46.
Reset the tyre warning in the Idrive😃 cant wait to see more content😊
You did good bruh . You enjoyed your car and didn’t crash 🔥💯👍🏿
you are drifting so good ngl
i hope you change the vacuum hoses on this bmw in the next video. that will help you to get the turbo boost at 1500-2000rpm 🙂
Great video!
Bro you re treat at it!!!!!
Great Video!
My SUV toyota 114hp, 138nm petrol, with 1.5 tons cryin 😢, seein u under ustimate 525i (especially DIESEL) not possibe to slip the tires xixixixi. Little story bout my 114hp toyota didn't have power to slide, so instead usin flick steering technique im usin my E-brake at 80 kmh, and it was pretty good for heavy & high ground clearance car (220 mm). sooo yeah, the E60 525i diesel can keep up even with 1,8 tons (2-3 passanger & full tank). i like ur content by the way, its great to see someone tryin something new. keep it up sirr.
Before the drift, you can open the temp gauge from secret menu, but most probably there'll be no over-heat etc. Maybe you can live some tyre sensor problem cause of heat or bar..
Muffler Delete sounds SOOOOO Good on these! My friend had a 520d and it sounded like a gasoline engine after 2000rpm 🤩🤩🤩 Now Imagine a 2.5 inline 6
i have a muffler delete on my 530d and it doesnt sound that good
Its diesel. What do you mean it good and like gasoline? Have you never heard real gasoline engine...?
I have a 525D 2.5 with coilovers and Stage 2 tune, it might not be the fastest or sportiest car ever, but it is really fun to drift in the winter, no effort required at all and I feel like I have full control because of the weight. You should look forward to snow, it is sick! :)
You have full control because of the long wheelbase, not because of the weight. Long wheelbase cars are really easy to control.
M57 engine is one of the best thing to drift with lol
525d is not 2.5 but 3.0 engine
@@faresyousfi9777 Pre-face is 2.5 facelift is 3.0
Great job bro. Got me looking at bmws and I’m a beginner as well. I want to track professional one day
Glad I stayed to hear the aluminum tip
water helps without water it will be hard :( btw nice drifts you did very nice for open diff ... and for this car... you get out the most of it almost
Keep up !
Norwegian, Swedish and finish people know how to drive car real good and they often know how to slide a car with no trouble
Good vidio but next time can we see some outside shoots🤩
Great content, i hope this e60 will turn to beast of winterbeaters. Also i hope i pass my driving test tomorrow morning. :)
Good luck ! Tell me how it went tomorrow 🙌🏼✨
@@FahreFilms got it 💪🏼💪🏼🥳

amazing driving skills.
video is so much beatiful
cool video !!!❤
Can you make a video about fixing the trunk with the holes of your M3?
Also can you make a video about the series about your cars owned so far?
Not sure about first generation (up to 08/2005) but technical facelift E60 (09/2005-02/2007) have movable rpm redline that represents temperature. At around 4800/4900 rpm the engine is up to temp. Facelifted cars (03/2007-2010) don't have that.
I agree that the E60 is a good car. I've owned a 2005 520i for almost a year and a half and it's been very reliable. I don't get the hate online. I have had some minor issues that required diagnosing, but overall nothing too expensive. I've driven it around 15 thousand kilometers since I bought it. I'm not suprised you were able to drift the car decently, because I've been able to drift my 520i 2.2L 170hp bone stock as well on wet ground (not that well, but fine considering it has a open diff). I even did it with the automatic transimission. But it does help that you can manually select gears with the automatic, and that the car is over 100kg lighter than a 525d (around 1495 kg).
Try using XHP Flashtool for tuning your gearbox. This way, you can do similar things as you would with a manual transmission. In manual mode (M/S), the gearbox doesn't shift gears, and you can rev it up to redline.
That diesel torq make drift look easy
you need to hold the dtc button in order for a diff to work properly
i guess u have some kind of wheel setup with xbox/ pc would like to see some content with it :D Forza / Asseto corsa
You really showed that guy in the comments from the last video . From 4:56 i was on the edge of my bed
Even my bone stock 520i f10 drifts despite it has the wider rear tires (275/40/18) with 32psi air in them. Also my car is Turkey special so it has the 1.6L 170hp 250nm engine. Suprisingly this lower powered boats are pretty capable when it comes to sliding.
Wow a F10 with 1.6 Petrol engine? Is this for Turkish market only?
@@mantaskizeliauskas9567 Yes, unfortunently. A lot of bmw's here are 1.6 liters. The ones that end with 20 are all 1.6 liter I think. Also there are a lot of new 318's etc. too
@@mantaskizeliauskas9567 yes, it’s called N20B16 which is 1,6L 170hp 250nm.
The fact that this is lighter than the new m2 show how new car are heavy
If you do not have power under 3000rpm check if you have a stainless steel exhaust manifold! If you do it is most likely cracked and you should just put a cast iron one from an e39. You can also put a turbo from 3.0d 218hp as a drop in replacement, you only need a remap and the power is a lot more than the stock 2.5d turbo I have an acceleration video on my channel.
If it would have a limited slip, it would be really nice
Please more videos with e60 ❤❤
You have temp gauge, its where the rpm gauge is. On the outer ring you can see small lines
That's the mpg gauge
@@simon-if2ji mpg gauge is on bottom of rpm gauge. Temp gauge is built inside rpm gauge, on the right side small lines
I have an e60 530d. I almost got out of road yesterday because i just bought it. If you want to pass someone and your wheels are not entirely straight at that moment u will go out of road. I was lucky to keep it on the road but man that was very scary.
Do you have the premium soundsystem in the e60? You can check by going to the sound options and if you have something that says "Logic 7" You have 2 subwoofers and 11 other speakers haha
Coilovers, sveisa spærre å tuning, så skal du se dette funker som bare det😊
Get a 2260 hybrid
M50D injectors
Big cooler
76mm straight pipe
With stage 3 remap (including transmission tune)
Cold air intake and u will have 387Hp and 703Nm. Btw its a personal experience
How much height can you save by putting a better exaust system??
It will give a red coolant light on the lcd screen if it's getting too hot, atleast on the E9x diesels which doesn't have temp gauge either.
The e60 DOES have a gauge though, it's just integrated in the odometer. On the right side of it, near the 4-5k RPM mark, the stripes act as the temp gauge, and will be full up to like the 3k RPM mark, when the car is cold, and will start going down as it warms up. E9X series don't have that feature sadly.
E9x had temp gauge too but it was very unuseful, you had to log into the hidden menu with vin and scroll through the menus until you found it, impossible while driving though.
@@nikopalonen92 I wouldn't count that as having the temp gauge option lol, as you have to do that literally every single time you start the car up, it is beyond inconvenient. The e60 at least does it itself, like on previous models, it's just not a needle as it used to be.
@@stoyanstefanov5460 I said it was useless but it HAS it, feature on the e60 is almost as useless and doesn't even come in all of them.
@@nikopalonen92 They are both useful, but the e9x makes it a pain in the ass to simply check your temperature, whereas the E60 clearly shows your temperature in the gauges, no need to access any menus or whatever, hence it's more convenient. I did not know that it didn't come on all of them though? Can you elaborate on that? Maybe the M5 wouldn't have it, but other than that, they all should.
in our country, Turkey people drifting in automatic e60 520d, so i don't think drifting manual 525d is impossible.
that's why we drive bmw. ultimate driving machine.
The car has a temp gauge in a secret menu in the dash
How to access it?
@@ahmedvlogs9473halte den Knopf beim Tacho da komm ein Fenster unter punkt 1 mit der Fahrgestellnummer, danach musst du auf Punkt 19 gehen und die Quersumme von den letzten 5 zahlen der Fahrgestellnummer eingeben und kannst dich anschließend im Menü durchklicken
Little funny this car is 1600 kg and a new m2 is 1725 they go for safety asf
How it feels versus your E46 320D Touring?
The sport you are trying to do with this diesel will cost you dearly :D
ohhhh like its the rarest e60 without check engine awesome.... btw go for stage 1 chip everything will be better
Have you think about some drift build?
Thats why i miss my old bmw e46 330d, 6 speed manual, now i got shitty audi a6 c7 with front drive and its booring, but im geting older and the only thing i like is comfort on audi.
Such a good video looking to get a 5 series when i get my license the car is looking real nice
I’m so surprised you are driving reckless on Norwegian roads/parking spots 😅
Are you going to make this bmw diesel a drift track car in the future?
In my country, if you would try to drift in this type of parking lot, if by any chance there is one camera somewhere or someone saw your licence plate number, you would be immediately snitched to police and your driving licence would be revoked plus like 500eur fine for chuliganic driving.
With out a LSD, drifting is just bad. i recommend a wavetrack LSD i bought 1 for my E91 325d Touring
how much was it
@@mahisss around 1800 euros with shipping and tax etc. it’s a UK based company. Labour for installing the part was 1000 euros 😅 keep in mind I live in Sweden. For me this is a must mod because of me running stage 2+
@@Roflmfaoftw You could've gotten quaife instead, It's 1000euros.
@@juppedog i was looking at quaife, then i saw a video about wavetrack on how it worked and that they had a patent on how their gears work and i was sold 😅
1600kg is not enough to be a true ”boat” heck even my w204 coupe weighed almost the same
a drift car is a drift car
Good content bro, but why didn’t I put the esp off ?
ESP was off :) Could never drift like that with ESP on :)
dude u can drift any bmw.
Heisann fra Nordnorge!
8:03 seljacino jedna pise ti sa kod obrtaja crtice spoljasnje
Fookin villager you can see it its on the dashboard for rpms, little lines on outside line between 4,5 and 5 rpm (on your car), the lower it is the higher the temperature is
Try it on dry asfalt
How many Seconds 0/100 km/h
Yes you can i have drifted my e46 330d and she goes sideways prety easy even with open diff. And 177 and 204 hp is not big difference. And weight is probably similar my car is around 1500 kg. I wish i would find out parking space for more practise closer but i have to drive outside of city so somebody would not call police and its kinda hard to find places with enough space to conect few turns. I like petrol engines more but diesel gives crazy low fuel consuption even when i trash her like crazy and hoon around she is more economical than all my petrol cars including peugeot 206 with 1.4 petrol engine which is comical. With trashing she consumes 6.5 liters per 100km average if i drive normaly she drops to 5.8 liters oer 100km and my ex 145 qv and mx3 gs would harly ever drop under 11-12 liters per 100km. If i had more money i would like to daily 330i but that would be 3 times more expensive.
Herøya😎
still its lighter than new AGILE M2:D
Could u help me! Is a e90 320d or 325d a good drift car?
The temp is shown at the redline in the rpm gauge
There are bars, think when there are 3 or 4 left its drift temp. Starts at maby 11 bars and shrinks
I dont think the diff will survive alot of drifting, i would get a lsd or weld it
an lsd for these is 1000eur+, not worth it
What is lsd bro
e60 is build to be a sports car. their is 535D etc...
What gear do u have to be in to drift it
get some stiffer springs and maybe a remap
Bought coilovers yesterday 🙌🏼
@@FahreFilms ay lets goo excited to see the build
M57 is legendary, i myself have an E60 but its LCI and has a 3.0 but a worse gearbox, around 260BHP and 600NM which is super for a daily and an E28 on the side for summer :)
Worse gearbox at lci e6* models? I have experienced otherwise, my preface chipped m57 have looong gear shifts compared to the facelifted models that shifts right away haha
@@thomasbacker8162 Yeah the LCI has a 19Z (same as 2.0 n47) and preface has the 26Z which is the same as 530D exc. I assume cuz when kept original the 19Z is smoother exc, but it handles less NM so u shoudnt kickdown as much as on the 26Z which handles up to 700NM on paper which is safe (i am talking about automatics here not manual)
@@homelesslenk5963 yeah i got that haha cause i have the pre 525d automatic myself as said and it uses way to long to shift so ofc a oil and filter change will be done soon but i am not sure that will help that problem in such a bigger grade and shift as fast and nice as the n47 automatic box do, but yeah i see everyone with a lci 525d Auto chipp their car so they overcome that nm limit to the lci transes but no complaints on gearbox failer so idk how t why they are so lucky xD
is yours the 530D LCI?
@@piovo5222 no, LCI 525D
So an f10 530d with 260hp and 500+nm torque should drift very well yeah?
Is the diff original?
Could it be done in an auto 530i e60?
du ser tempratur på motor på turtallviser siden. opp til 5k rpm
Hey, maybe anyone know, I have E61 530D with pneumatic, and when I try to do burnout it is like Hoping at rear, or when I Even do a hard pull with tire spinning, it is vibrating in rear. Why so?
Your rear suspension is knackered
@@Safsbmwlife What do you mean with knackered?
@@noisy5109 for instance if your shocks are worn they will bounce when trying to wheel spin, rear control arms, diff bushings, subframe bushing all can cause wheel hop
@@Safsbmwlife oh, thank you for more detailed explain!
Thinking to check control arms, cuz all bushings has been changed.
@@noisy5109 if all bushings been changed then control arms will be changed too as these are the main arms. I would look at shock absorbers aswell.
What psi is your tyres at? If its too low can cause jumping
can you drift stock e46 318i
I donno what are your long term plans with this beater project. But as always, i have to compare it to your beater compact 🤪 (my fav of your cars).
The diesel is a good base (lots of torque), but a welded diff sure would make a big jump, remaping the ecu, in turbo diesel car that can do big.
The big long body is a good thing (dont want to go into the physics of drifting, why long wheelbase is good, im sure you know it), but this e60 sure need a serious diet. Throw out every useless shit not needed for having fun.
Strut bars, coilovers, and a nice hydro e-brake (stock is electronic if im right), and done 🤪
No electronic e brake on e6* models 👌
@@thomasbacker8162 sry, i was wrong then 🤪, but thats a good new for Andreas 🤣
If you have the "balls" and the "head"...you can drift anything...💪😎
Mine 530xi e60 with 258hp dosent drift. I ve tried everything, he dont want to drift. It is because of the all wheel drive
Any car can drift even it stock fwd sedan like camry
you cant drift a fwd car, you can only power slide.
@@mobbdeep615 i dont mean Basic drift just drive in highspeed and everything will drift
1600kg is actually not that much in todays cars. The new Bmw M2 even weighs 1700kg and that is Bmw smallest M car. My F11 520d weighs 1800kg and its no problem drifting that either on the wet.
The answer is in your license plate hahaha
