Does this bother anybody else?
I love a bit of sideways action and my old E30 335 was never in a straight line.
I now have an E39 M5 and still has the annoying trait that my old E30 had.
Spin up the back for a bit of fun and bang-bang-bang as the rear wheels try to detach themselves from the rear suspension.
Maybe I have too much mechanical sympathy but it gets on my wick a bit and spoils the fun as you have to back off for fear of breaking/bending something.
I would imagine most BMWs are like this as they all have a similar design of rear suspension.
