Most mentioned that most BMW accidents happened during or just after rain and that most of them happened to E46. They mentioned that usually it hit divider or went straight during a corner (from the skid marks they can see) or some other non-other-car involvement. It is usually because the car for no apparent reason became uncontrollable especially during corners and especially during or after rain.The only explanation I could offer was it may be prone to snap oversteer. Which is why I am posting. Has anyone heard of such cases? Is it bad driver (don't know how to handle oversteer), bad conditions/environment or bad car design? As for the bad driver reason, I assume that we all think we are good drivers but as can be seen from the video of the BMW Driver Training at SIC, most just spun-out or couldn't handle the oversteer that ensued (even though I think they were trying to provoke it and expected it to happen). It seems this kind of behavior is not only seen in the E46, but other models as well and the 1series is especially prone to this.Any thoughts anyone?</p></blockquote><p></p>
