Thanks for the reminder... I know that I feel overly confident in my X5 but do try to slow for rain or slippery road conditions...

That M3 crash link doesn't work any more. Here's a new link
Thanks, fixed it. Average driver also does not know how to regain control when the car is slipping.

alpac is on a distinguished road
Happened to my daughter 2 years ago while she was driving her 323 on the highway during very heavy rain. She hydroplaned and panicked. The front and side air bags probably saved her life that day and she got out with just few bruises. She learnt the hard way that time.
