BMW E36 VERT: BUDGET DRIFT BUILD – PART 8

We finally take the E36 Vert out racing, and thrash the drift pit, during Midnight Madness at Gateway Raceway! First time i’ve gone drifting in almost two years, but the car felt great and I was able to hold my line and keep momentum. By the end of the night, the Vert was running on wires, haha. Time for some new tires, before the next drift event.

Looking for advice on how to diagnose a stuck window on the BMW E36 convertible. If you have any advice, or links to forum posts with a walkthrough, please let me know! I would also be open to converting the window to a manual hand-crank window, if you have any advice on that, too. Thanks!!!
