Oh My...Fish Tailing in the rain

Before I got my F13 I always heard of people not driving in the rain or snow because of the RWD. I always drive my car only during light rain showers just to kick the rear sideways a little bit leaving the gas station Well the other day it rained pretty heavy and I thought I take it for a spin. The rain died down eventually and I came across an X6M. We played lightly on the highway for a bit. then upon overtaking a car in front of me i press the gas enough to pass him but also enough to send that bad boy sideways a little. You would’ve thought traction was fully off.
So I thought to myself imagine that in MDMmode

How many of you out there drive your M6in rainy weather?? Do you take it lightly or do you play? And do you play in MDM? And i mean just crusin nothing crazy...

With 800nM of torque, my CLS literally spins in a circle trying to take a turn with too much sauce

I drive my m6 in all conditions on cup 2 tires too! Car is super controllable even on MDM. Full traction off can definitely be scary though if your not careful...

You're in New York so I'd imagine it is fairly cold at the moment. I have had no problems with my PS4S which I got on the car near the end of our winter and they are great in the wet. I think however we probably had only a few days below 10C and everything else was above 10C so that will make a big difference.

I drove my car through winter with PZeros on it and at times it did scare me. Our winters are about 5C average in the morning and 15C during the day with about five 0C-2C mornings a winter. I definitely drove slower on those days!

It was just raining in los angeles for a whole week 24 hours non stop , i took her out for a quick spin and to say the very least,it is not hard to get this car sideways especially on summer tires.a big scary given the the car has no 50/50 weight distribution so it is a bit harder to tame when sideways .

I find the 6er good natured to drive in rain. We went to a training course and one session was to drive through a sort off water pond to provoke aquaplaning. I have a short video how do I upload a vid?

I run my M6 GC 700wtq on 315/30/20 NT01's rain or shine, it's a lot of car to handle. Looking forward to this kind of power with AWD from BMW in the near future

With traction control control off, I can easily break traction on wet pavement on PSS with at least 6/32nds. It happens on slow speed high angle turns and from zero to go. Not sure how people even drive it in the snow.

What width are your rims for the 315s and do you have spacers?

BC Forged 20x10.5 like the OEM wheel size for the M6. 10mm spacers on the rear, no rubbing or any other issues.
