Silver Fox 43 Report post Posted June 24, 2006 C'mon guys, I think you're biased, just cause it's a 740 doesn't mean we can't have a bit of fun? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Couldn't tell , but you wouldn't expect to see a 5 or 7 series being drifted. Any takers .... Martyyn ? Would give the police a real reason to pull you over.

rxsumo 33 Report post Posted June 25, 2006 Couldn't tell , but you wouldn't expect to see a 5 or 7 series being drifted. Why not?I cant speak for the "7", but I can assure you that an E34, is one of the nicest car's I've ever had hanging it's ass out. Its predictable, and once its out there its extremely easy to control on the throttle, not quite what you would expect from 1600kgs of car....I'm guessing the 50/50 weight distribution helps.
