[metaldrift]

Hi im from sweden and i will soon get a Bmw 523 Touring its the car with 2.5 litre engine and 170hp and 240nm and im wondering if you could make a drift car of it i know i have to change to a different diff like a LSD diff and change the cars suspension but im wondering how much i have to change cuz i will be using it as a everyday car and take really good care of it soi think i wil be able to do both drifting and cruzin

From what ive read and heard, the 320 is as thirsty as a 325 but as quick as a 318. in other words its the worse of both ends of the engine specs.
