Car stood for day at work due rain.
Got in started, reversed and yellow car with skid marks and exclamation. Thought now what.
Came up drive with caution or similar as i reversed.
Restarted and went away. :thumbsup:

I wonder if a rear brake was temporarily binding due to the wet and a bit of surface rust?
The difference in rotational speed may have been enough to trigger the traction control.

Always happy to help if I can.

If the forum helped you, why not help the forum back. Thats the Z4 way! :thumbsup:
