Hello all,

Just thought I'd say hi. I'm just back from the BMW dealer where I've just bought a 320d M sport touring (58). This is my first ever BMW & rear wheel drive car!

Should I be worried driving in wet weather etc ;-) 18" alloys with run flats.

Cheers,

Tum.

    Welcome Tum.

    I have an E46 320d, my first RWD too. Its not a problem in the wet, sometimes it may catch you out in second going round islands, but unless you mean it its usually ok.

    Get some pics up.

    Hi Gav, yes I kinda hoped you'd have to be trying before it broke traction. Looking forward to having some fun!

    Its totaly stable as long as you keep the traction control on....but if you want to have some fun, dont just press the TC button, hold it down until 2 warning lights come on the dash...= fun mode :lol:

    Traction control button? Missed that on the test drive, does this mean I'll have to read through the owners manual! :blink:
