Watching An Electric BMW i3 City-Car Drift Is Hilarious And Here's The Secret To Doing It - The Autopian
Our own David Tracy took a massive leap out of his comfortable rust-water Jacuzzi of his usual automotive life and splashed down into the fantastic, bamboo-enhanced interior of a BMW i3 that will soon have a fresh new battery and become his first modern-ish daily driver. This is a big, big deal...www.theautopian.com

Car naturally have an understeer gradient to bias towards that character, particularly high CoG SUVs, its preferable to oversteer for most and the car is tuned for it. Car generally dont sit in a nominal neutral zone that you tweak by just changing tyres!
yep.
Older BMW's had an ever so slight bit that you could promote when going tightly through roundabouts/coming off them onto a sharp bend/corner exit - easily removed from adding half a degree of negative toe when re-aligning them.
Mercs tend to be aligned to have a more prominent understeer despite being RWD, based on the type of people that drive them versus say an ///M car. Strange for a RWD, but it is a known thing on Mercs and AMG's.
They used to say "BMW is a drivers car, a Mercedes is a car to be driven in!" so that definitely sums up the difference of owner.
In general manufacturers deem it safer to have understeer.

Do EVs get tank slappers?One wheel peel, lol open diff. The snapback when he straightened up must have been a tank slapper and a half
Honestly though, you can't fully deactivate the ESP unless you mess around in the hidden service menu
Most fun I ever had in a car was in an Opel Meriva. Did an ice-driving course at Zandvoort in Holland. They replaced the rears with slicks, hosed down a white patch of asphalt the size of a football field and made us carry out all manner of evasive maneuvers. Hilarious fun. Would recommend.
Haha, you knew what I meant thoughDo EVs get tank slappers?

The twist and slap of the chassis caressing the road Can you not just do the old school method of pulling the fuses for ABS, ASC, and any relating relays? That usually works
Nice!
One of my Irish mates took his caged full drift spec RB25DET manual Nissan Laurel to Sweden and drifted it on the frozen lakes and filmed it.

Many of them might just refuse to turn on if you do that

A lot of newer vehicles will just go into limp mode, etc. if you do that, maybe even not let you drive.
Spoil sportsMany of them might just refuse to turn on if you do that
It's a good thing I own OEM diagnostic tools to disable that then ey
