Bmw Wagon Drift Car

BMW never made a 5 Series E28 Touring wagon, but one man built his own by grafting a Mercedes W123 rear end onto the four. Join us on a laid-back Saturday at Drift HQ as we dive into a special project: Cricket's BMW E46 wagon. It's not just any build day; we're transforming his trusty daily driver into a full.

BMW E46 2JZ-Swapped Drift Wagon November 14, 2023 / Story By Luke Munnell / Photos By Luke Munnell For years, one of my favorite events to cover of the year was the annual California Festival of Speed, a weekend bash occupying the infield of SoCal's Auto Club Speedway in Fontana (Cal Speedway, for those of you even more OG than me), open to any and all things Porsche. Sure, there were a ton. Looking for the BEST BMW Drift Car? We compare the top 5 BMW series model cars to find the best for drifting.

The BMW body with a Mercedes-Benz heart might shock some people and offend others. But there is no questioning that this drift wagon is an epic build. Whoever is lucky enough to get strapped into this car with Hughes is going to be in for one hell of a ride.

One of those vehicles is the 2001 BMW 323i Touring Wagon you see here. Having already built his fair share of typical drift cars, he had always wanted to put together a wagon as a party car at drift events. At the same time, he had always wanted to build something diesel-related, but the two ideas had not yet come to fruition.

Professional drifter Dylan Hughes wanted something unconventional, and this unlikely engine and chassis paring acutally makes all the sense in the world. This love-it-or-hate-it, oil-burning E36 BMW 3-series is an absolute monster that simply loves to drift. We've no doubt its thumping 545lb ft torque figure makes pushing the rear out joyously easy.

Dylan Hughes is not only one of the top rising stars in Formula Drift, but is also a mad man behind the scenes as well. Having worked on many purpose.
