True, that would make things interesting.

Honestly, I love getting the rear end out, especially when it's in such a predictable car. It's unbelievably forgiving.

I think that has a lot to do with the car's popularity. It's more predictable and it inspires confidence early on.

Not a bad thing, mind you. But I think that's part of the "BMW experience."
This.^

It's hard to explain how simple it is to control this car beyond the limits of grip. If a driver's had a few lessons on car control then it really is cake to slide. Reckless, perhaps; depending upon the location. Fun, hell yes.
