what i need to chage for stock w124 500e to use it in drifting!?
Install a Quaife ATB limited-slip differential, part number QDF5V; and add an ASR defeat switch.
i will really feel the difference in limited slip diff? this part is aspecial for w124 500e or i can find it in some other mercedes diff?
Limited slip is required to make both rear wheels spin. You won't be drifting much with only one rear tire spinning.
The factory clutch-type limited-slip shown above will also work, but I'd recommend the Quaife. Don't bother with a used factory LSD, it will cost almost as much as a new one by the time you replace the clutch packs, etc. The Quaife has no clutches to wear out and is highly preferable for any track use, including drifting. The OE clutch LSD is good for street use.

the r129 500sl limited slip?the quaife is easy to fix?
None of the R129 500SL's had limited slip, they either had open diffs, or ASR.
The Quaife doesn't need fixing, it has a lifetime warranty. It's pretty much bulletproof especially with "only" ~320hp going through it. If you get the factory clutch-type limited slip, eventually it will need to have the clutch pack replaced, especially if heavily used (i.e., drifting). Replacing the clutch pack is expensive both in parts & labor. The Quaife will cost more up front but save you a bunch in the long run.
