Does the M5 have enough traction?

So now that the M5 has been on the streets for while, I pose this question to all M5 owners....Are you happy with the overall traction/grip provided by the M5?

I am seriously looking at an M5 or M6 to be my next car, but I am concerned that the amount of power and torque is simply too much for rear wheel drive and/or the chosen tire sizing.

Obviously the DSC comes into play, but this technology still is far from perfect. The ideal DSC system should be imperceptible in its function, and that still doesn't happen.

So.....what's the verdict?

Thanks.
