True enough of the classic Bimmers. Contemporary BMWs with stability
control and traction control do fine. That's pretty much true of any
rear driver. Without an extremely talented driver or an equally
talented computer, they can be a handful in the rain. That being said,
I drove a 340 horsepower Chrysler 300C in the rain on Chrysler's test
track up in Auburn Hills. It has a stability control system based on
the Mercedes electronics. Try as I might, I couldn't get it to stumble
even on wet pavement with the pedal to the metal. With the system
switched off, keeping it on the straight and narrow required a very
delicate touch, and I found I couldn't equal the performance of the
electronics using just my brain and my foot.

I kinda' stuffed up when I took the shot. It could "fixed in PS" but I
don't want to <g>
Comments yes, no or otherwise are always appreciated.
Neither of the BMW's that I have owned handled especially well in the
wet............
