    And IIRC it was 80% of 1er buyers.

    Yes, and the in the completely random survey they contacted 5 female 1 series owners in California and asked what were the driven wheels.

    And actually here BMWs have a bit of a widowmaker reputation (especially from the 80's and early 90's) because they are rear wheel drive. The other day a family friend was asking me for advice on his new car and when we discussed the 3er Coupe he asked if it wouldn't be dangerous because it was rear wheel drive. Funnily enough his current car is a Lexus IS, which is a rear wheel drive car and he didn't seem to be concerned about that at all.

    It's a Toyota - chances are he hasn't driven it properly before.

    RWD is a default choice for a lot of families here in Australia thanks to the Commodore and Falcon - I guess thats why I don't see it as much of a novelty as some Europeans do, I suppose - but even so, they can, to the untrained, be deathtraps.

    I suppose thats the same with any vehicle though - Bobcats included.

    I once had a case of heavy oversteer in a rear wheel driven .....Lada.

    I'd say that the Mini oversteered more than the BMW does.
