[QUOTE="k3nny, post: 245929, member: 139"] I think that essentially any car has its limits and tolerances with regards to handling and driving in the wet. There are drivers which have been driving for 30 years or so with no advance driver training at any level and still going fine and strong and thats not to say that they are conservative or slow drivers. I think its a matter of communicating with your car and knowing your car's limits and your own personal driving limits as well that will save you. Knowing how to recover from a loss of control but not knowing your limits will likely minimize your damage but not save you entirely as opposed to knowing your limits. To be honest, i actually prefer driving in the rain than in the wet.. No hot sun on your lap, the rythmic sounds of the raindrops.. And fair enough, its easier to aquaplane on wider tires than thinner tires.. But the weight of the car also play's a big role here.. And we're in BMW's.. Loss of control is fun for those who know it and fearful for those who dont know it. Get to know it! :D [/QUOTE]
