I had a hair raising moment the other day, going right unto a roundabout I took the sharp exit left and all of a sudden the car was on skates. left, right, left again. Lucky for me the oncoming driver stopped, but the look on his face said it all..Following that, I'm doing about 70 on but then the road feel abit uneven and suddenly I feel the back starting to feel like its about to fly i.e. like it was losing traction. So I slowed down.
This is a bit frustrating as my previous car could easily maintain 70 without me worrying that its about to spin out of control.
Any one know what could be causing this problem, i.e. suspension, tyres, system fault etc.
I've got low profile 235,R18' tyres so I would have thought that it would hold even in the wet conditions alas I was wrong. I've read that the BMW's are quite tail happy but I would have expected that at speeds like maybe 90mph not 70mph. Please help, I didn't get any lights ABS, ASC etc I don't know how to test these, I know I ASC light works as I can turn it on or off, I might just go down to the stealers but I would rather have an idea of what it was dirst....
I would say the problem I've noticed seems to happen if I'm at speed and over uneven surfaces, as the car rocks a bit, I start to feel like its loosin its hold. HELP.
