Good luck finding what's up.
I'd have thought the cold has a lot to do with it? Mine will step out if you boot it at 70 when it's cold or wet. Standing starts can be tail happy in just the cold. All predictable though.

The 335d is putting similar power through 50% less contact patches so rather than using the throttle as an on/off switch it needs modulating - even more so in current weather conditions.

If its handling odd side to side then something is wrong.. And all I can do is echo the above comments, check tyre pressures are bang on (cold) try get it up in the air and look for anything obviously wrong..

The car will be playful even with the best tyres on and with everything in shape.. You've just got to be very smooth.

yeh your right evos are just like that. i dont go just slamming the throttle down coming out the corners im always smooth so. we will see i reckon its the simple case of the tyres so easy fix thanks mate
