View Full Version : E34 525i
Im only gettin into this drifting craic so i bought a 24v 525 to start with...some people said it was a bit clean to cut up :eek: but not me :D
There is not going to be any big money spent for a while anyway so its just take out as much weight as i can and lower it a bit and see how it goes :)
hopefully ill have it out for practice in about two weeks :)
