Very very much so, I wasn't even giving it some either. It was very wet Friday but must've been doing 20MPH round a roundabout and it starting going DSC light flashing too. Also wheel spinning under heavy throttle too, I got to drive it Friday too yay! ;D
Shouldn't really be that frisky though, 225/40/18 on the front and 255/35/18 on the back I was quite suprised next roundabout I did it again :D

That's the fun you get with RWD in the wet.

That's my next car, a 330d or a 530d 2006 or newer, like them shapes. Will get it within the next couple of months hopefully after this one has gone. It's not a slow car by any means though 138MPH top end for a 2.0 diesel is pretty good :y

I come from a family of beemer owners, and they do seem twitchy on slippery roads, and are woeful in the snow/ice

I've had the tail of the Westfield wagging at 80 MPH in 5th. I did drive it in snow once. I doubt I'll bother again. ;D That's what comes of having 205 section tyres with only 650 Kg. On anything other than grippy tarmac you're better off not spreading the weight over such a large contact patch.

Years ago (tuned Sunbeam with forest suspension) driving to work there was about a mile of loose chippings and I started geting faster and faster.
Suddenly realised speedo at 90*, left hand bend right hand lock and looking out of my side window.
I suddenly realised then why they were successfull rally cars!
* No units no problem could be miles per year or km/h or m/s, also a lot of power oversteer

My E32 750i as so easy to dance round roundabouts 8-)

Dread to think what it'll be like if I get a 330d/530d :o
