Ive spun twice now. 1st time I had no idea what happened. But Ive since realised that I didnt wind lock on fast enough.

2nd time was Black Ice, so nothing I could do.

Just learn to be smoother with you inputs. And when it does start to go, dont just snap the throttle shut as you'll end up in tank slapper. Just come off Slowly and apply the appropriate amount of steering.

Personally, Ive never really got into the Drift thing. Im more about going fast fowards, but its nice to know what to do when he starts moving around.

[andymn]

the scarything is that 3 cars were coming towards me on the other side of the road......fortunately they were aproaching a red light and came in slow.

cat with nine lives.........lets hope so.........8 left...!

[Bob_S]

not spun mine yet but have had loads of practise with a rwd saph so it's not as tricky as it is for some lol

[Karan]

drift it my son!

[johnono]

i sidewaysd u-turned at a traffic lights once.. first time id ever really given it some.

2 lane wide and every one waiting at red lights except for my filter lane (which only had me in it)

came out slowly, then clutch in, heavy rev, clutch out swift (in the rain so not so violent) begun to spin, turned in, swung it round and countered

smiled to the crowd (old people in their cars looking like " ")

held throttle and smoothed out....


was shaking for at least 15 minutes after

[Cotty]

The 180 in my name is because the second day I had my 316 I spun it 180 booting it out of a junction in the wet. Im a more careful in the 325i

Practice to control her in the parking lot...

Every bloody car park near me has so many speed bumps/lamp posts/trolley bays/pavements etc that I'm getting exasperated. What I would give for half an hour in the wet round the parade square at the local army camp....
