Hi , how's everyone doing ? New guy here with looking to get drifting and improve by listening to your experienced voices ! So for a start ,
Bmw = RWD , check ! [emoji3]
4.4 V8 = fair torque , Check ! [emoji4]
Coilovers =cheap but , check ! [emoji23]
Diff = standard Open , NON check ! [emoji37]
Auto gearbox = Massive NON check ! [emoji37][emoji19][emoji37][emoji19]
Basically till 2 weeks ago been our family daily driver for the past 5 years , but wife now gone SUV club lol , even tought I've imposed a rule of has to have a fair petrol lump under bonnet it's still boring for me to drive a mini bus (ML500) so my old buddy E39 now it's free to fulfill my demands [emoji41] . Million pound question is , will it worth it being an AUTO? , manual box conversion experience anyone? , welded diff costs and a place where it can be done? I'm open to any suggestions as its all part of my research before I make my decisions and don't look back ! Btw, I'm not a drifter, but have a fair ammount of knowledge and experience with handling side of things when we give that bit more just under the edge, and I do think an E39 have a good overall balance , it's my open diff that lets me down sometimes [emoji57]. Thanks in advance for any input !
