You can drift a misfiring 316i Touring...

So I'd be fairly certain with 192hp, it will drift.

From experience I can say 525 24vs are more than capable of drifting in the dry. Hard work compared to the same motor in an e36 or better still an e30 but definitely do-able.

For £150 otr even if it was a 518i it will still be a laugh to use for skids and abusing. I cant believe how long this car was up for sale for. If I had the money spare Id of bought it.

Abuse the hell out of it! Stripped interior, welded diff, lots of smoke and then it'll all end up in bits, but who gives a f*ck :D Enjoy!
Not in E30s any more :(
