Is that really more difficult/dangerous as some people say, especially when it's raining/snowing?

Yes because when you get behind the wheel, you turn into a right tit!!! Your driving standards decline, you lose concentration and act like a twerp!!!
Maybe generalising a little but not much!!!"If you can read this, thank a teacher....and since it's in English, thank a soldier"Comment

I've never owned one but I've driven a few friends' and I found the opposite: first of all every one seems to drive like every other one so you know what's happening. Secondly, it seems to be responsive and sensitive, but TBH I've never pushed it to see what happens when it gets close to going wrong, but it feels like it'd be gradual and communicative.Originally posted by Francko

That could be true only if people have never driven a RWD car and/or are inexperienced drivers. I'm afraid the one thing you can't slate about them is the handling!...my quagmire of greed....my cesspit of laziness and unfairness....all I am doing is sticking two fingers up at nurses, doctors and other hard working employed professionals...

That's for sure. However, what some people say is that BMW are very unstable in the rain and they have exagerated reactions. While this might not be a problem for rear wheel long experienced user if you don't have that much experience with it, it might turn to be quite dangerous as you would react differently in front wheel. I just wonder how many people did the switch from front to rear wheel and how easy that was.Originally posted by fzbucks
Probably this is just a myth and perhaps it was due to very old BMW whose reactions where incredibly oversensitive. However, as in all myths there might be some truth in it.
Interesting about the chavviness of BMW. True that in UK is a 99% owned chav car but most of it belonging to drug dealers-crime offenders. If you go to the mainland then it is a well respected car owned mainly by wealthy professional people.I've seen much of the rest of the world.

Absolute garbage. What on earth are you talking about? How many chavs can afford an X5, M3, M5, or M6, etc.Originally posted by Francko
It just a very popular brand driven by all sorts of folk.Comment

Yes, as I said, drug dealers mainly.Originally posted by Chugnut
Chavs can afford 10years old BMW though.I've seen much of the rest of the world. It is brutal and cruel and dark, Rome is the light.Comment

Course it's garbage. Francko doesn't understand why 99.9% of the Uk population were more successful than him and therefore can afford BMWs.Originally posted by Chugnut
Interesting fact: BMW 3 series outsells Mondeos in the UKHard Brexit now!

Ive got in trouble a few times toeing it a bit much off roundabouts, I had new Dunlop tyres put on a while back and while they are quality in the dry when it rains sometimes it's like driving on ice
