it just reminded me of my test drive when i first was thinking about getting a car ... i went to the dealership and the salesman took me on the s-curve ... it was raining and there was loose gravel ... he tells me to floor it and i do ... the car slides side to side and corrects itself ... all this while i am flooring it ...

I got all nostalgic ... love bmw engineering ...

all that aside, drive safe guys ... don't be dumb like me hahahaha unless of course you want to ...

lol dumb ftw

bro in my 335 i used to turn off DSC every time it rained and just take sharp fast turns. i spun out a few times it was the awesomest shit everrrrrrr

a relatively safe way to do this on wet ground is when making a right turn from a stop. start slowly and when the car get about halfway through the turn, give it some gas. the rear will usually start to slide out but the DSC will catch it. this is safer as since as you're already halfway through the turn, when the rear breaks loose, the car won't slide out too far. Also, since you've started from a stop, the speeds are not high either.

For sure Andy, good stuff!

Now, go test drive an Audi with Quattro haha. . . .

I do this when i have girls or fellow car lovers riding with me. They get as much of a kick out of it as i do.

Yep, I love the whole RWD thing!
I loved it much more with my e46 M3, and I had plenty of fun drifting a bit around some corners in the rain.

It's too bad that the 335 doesn't have an LSD. I know there are options out there, but I'm too concerned about the aftermath of the aftermarket LSD components.
All it takes is one complaint and problem for me to stand back and make me think about spending all that money for a diff.

IMO, RWD is greater than AWD. RWD = More power to the ground!
