Diff would be an option, so unlikely its going to have one. Sport models would be more likely to have one, although even then I'm sure its only an option. Not always standard fitment.

If you want to learn to slide, I'd buy the 525 over the 518. The 518 isnt going to have any power to have much fun with.


4wd would probably be nice, but also consider repair costs if things go wrong. I'd stay clear.

If you do happen to buy one, I have a set of M5 replica alloys+tyres appropriate for a 94 car.
I used to have them on my black 525tds. It was a nice enough car, but was very sore on front suspension bushes.
