BMW frisky in the wet
« on: 18 April 2009, 20:55:13 »
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
