So, i'm new to rwd drive cars, and have a bmw 525 e34 manual with an open diff. And tbh it scares the fuck out of me as it just spins up and starts to go sideways at the drop of a hat in the wet. Now i know the answer is just keep off the accelerator while cornering but relisiticly are rwd cars meant to be this scary or is it just i'm not used to it? (i've only had the car six months)

Is tyre choice a factor? atm it has budgets, but i don't want to spend nearly £200 a corner on some contis (245/40/18) only to find it's still twitchy in the rain.

I can't begin to imagine what a m3 or m5 would be like.

anyone got any views? i know this is a very random post but i see nearly everyone on here raves about rwd cars and i just can't seem to comprehend why! - not in this wet country anyway!
