Going 170 km/h on a straith highway and feeling the rear "move" as a passenger isn't exactly reassuring. And I didn't trust the driver!

My dad owns a Mercedes C 220 cdi, he never said anything about the rear braking out.

On a track it might be fun, but in normal traffic? Roll Eyes

Thats a fault,be it mechanical failure on the rear suspension of some sort, or, more likely a fault in the drivers ability. make no mistake. Wink

No BMW 5 Series be it an e12, e28 , e34 e39 nor an e60 display such tendancies, believe me, I've driven most models of the 5.

As for traction & rear wheel drive, its all down to balance of the car and throttle position. For what its worth, I drive with my "traction control" switched off 95% of the time.

Posting drivel here since Jan 31st, 2002. - That long!

Any good driver, shouldn't need traction control in a road car unless the conditions are really bad.
