I have to disagree. I took the car up to Lime Rock Park in CT last week for a Skip Barber one day school with my son. At the end of the day, they let me run the M5 on the Autocross kidney track. it is a small track, so I was basically running the entire lap in 2nd gear. It took a lap or two for me to get smooth rolling ont he throttle, but once I did, there was no problem getting the power to the rear wheels without breaking them loose. Honestly, the best part was hearing the "oh, crap" from the Skip Barber instructor riding shotgun every time I got on the gas!
