I did feel the traction control and stability control kick in several times but the car handled very well and was completely predictable. In case you think it was light ice, when I parked the car, the entire front number was covered in ice. So much so the front proximity sensors blared and lit up red when I put the car in reverse due to the packed ice covering the entire front of the car!

I'm fortunate to have an extra car this winter so keeping the M5 garaged but will need winter wheels and tires next winter. Mine is also Azurite black, do you have any photos with the winter set up so I can see what it would look like?
If I could figure out how to post pics on this board I would. Good thing others have figured it out! Lol.

Advice is; get the 408s. Mine came with the Pirellis, look great for a "winter" combo and they actually ride better than my stock 20s w Michelin PS2s.
