I dunno fergus, fair enough the natural tendancy of the 5 is to slide as opposed to flip, but going sideways into a kerb could flip the car.
Also, if you slide into a ditch / grass bit off the road then the wheels can dig and the car can flip over on its own momentum.
Have been thinking of getting a roll cage alright, but probably wont bother...
