Yes, and..?. What's the matter with you techathy, E89's melt in the rain, everyone knows that, it's in the handbook. Honestly... :roll:
You missed the rear tyres between "melt" & "in the wet", especially with the 35iS :evil:

See my avatar (high res version)? That's the front wheel of my old 120dx taken in the rain after going an early morning drive.

The one thing I learnt from my 1er is that DSC gets turned off as part of pointing the car towards anything that isn't a trunk road.

They aren't shiny... Matt silver to match grill, exhausts and vent twists..
