better off with a 325i for drifting tbh

only worth welding the diff if it will never be used on the road.. otherwise LSD it is..
Got cable ties? Get diffin..

Hi Dude, welcome :)
a 320 can drift ,but it will need more work, u will need to get the revs up and theweight of the car can work against her. A 325 has the power that you can use to easily get her to slide out.
