I agree. And don't forget the OP is in the northeast where it's still cold which have a significant effect on the PSS's tire grip levels. I agree with the OP as I get spin easily with conservative throttle inputs around town in especially in cool / damp conditions. Once the tires warm up properly the M5 is pure awesomeness; I have 2 different cars depending on the air/ground/tire temperatures. I feel temps make a bigger difference to the handling properties of this car because of the tires. Crazy hypothetical but now wouldn't it be nifty to have optional AWD for the winter and be able to completely disengage it for hooligan fun times (disregarding the weight gain, of course)!
