LOL - most of the credit on that one goes to a good friend of mine - Mark T - who could seriously give SdB a run for his money when it comes to going sideways.
The car was a 325i Touring..but I'd modded it somewhat - An AmD re-map, K&N 57i, Remus complete exhaust, Bilstien shocks, Eibach springs and adjustable anti-roll bars Oh - and a BMW Motorsport LSD- not what you'd expect from a 'Dog-Basket'

Only when it hit the grass Paul - it was doing really well till then

All in all (in standard form) I found it extremely neutral and progressive and hugely satisfying when I got the lines right - understeer was only apparant when going into a corner way too quickly!
