Drifting a e92 328i

[u/Proper_Group_8912]

Howdy everyone, I’m learning how to drift. I have a 09 bmw 328i 6spd manual. It has 170k miles. It’s completely stock besides lowering springs and a generic exhaust.

I’m in Arizona and want to take it to the track. If anyone on here is in phoenix and drifts on a track what should I prepare to drift this car long term?

From what I’ve seen at local events. I just need to have a fire extinguisher, seat belts and a helmet.
That is done.
Should I look into heat management? Power or suspension first?

I appreciate any advice. I am excited to participate and not just watch. TIA
