[QUOTE="astroboy, post: 618885, member: 4527"] One of the tell-tales of how wet is the road is, you look at its reflection, if got reflection, can see the sky.., my bola will kecut. If no reflection, still can take a chance but be mindful that surface can contain oil. So adjust your speed accordingly. Did you go sport mode to cancel out the final drive or cancel 6th speed [E90]? I would and it helps to create engine drag, on some wet corners, breaking during corner is not a good idea especially when it's a downhill corner because momentum will push you out. Get use to shift down in such situation, using your steptronic. My E90 on 225 tyres and that's the max it'll go. Even with that, once I can feel aquaplaning on the front wheel, depending on how wet the puddle la, I will change the tyre, sometime even before hitting the tread wear indicator. E90 very easy to read aquaplaning with front wheel because it's steering very heavy. A sudden lightness is the sign which I always look out for when driving in the wet. On car with light or no steering feedback, good luck and keep praying man! [/QUOTE]
