I agree/disagree? What are you wanting here? I've never driven a 316i, never actually put tyres to 50psi on any car, but I HAVE been on a wet roundabout!

ok.
Slow car
high tyre pressures to get back end out, hence slow car
The roundabout was wet, mostly due to water on it
You had fun.

Discussed!

Yes on an open public road great idea

Sure the poor sods that end up going round the roundabout only to face the front of your car will love that

Would it not be alot easier/safer to find an empty car park to practice on, that way if you cock up then theres nothing to crash into and no-one to hurt

RWD van in the snow is more fun. The looks you get when a long wheel base sprinter comes round a corner broadside

I only ever did this on empty roads.

Best way to learn rwd contol is a car with no power and overinflated tires on a wet road?!

theres a big difference between a rwd car stepping out on a dry road under power. will be like chalk and cheese
