My guess is that you didn't stall. It was probably the traction control kicking in.

I see your location is listed as NJ, in cold weather the M5 doesn't race and win much. I'd suggest MDM mode or DCS off for a race but in cold weather that could put you in the wrong lane or the hospital rather fast! Much below 68F and you are going to feel the temperature/traction limits of the M5 even if and hopefully you are on snow tires.

The M5 is my favorite car and I am lucky to have bought one but like all dream girls they have their issues. 560+RWHP and a battleships worth of torque plus cold weather just happens to be her biggest flaw. Still wouldn't want AWD thou!

Good luck and wish for a fast spring!

Sport+ engine, Comfort suspension, S3 or D3, MDM and then modulate the throttle... you should be fine
I have smoked lots of cars (including C6/C7 and M3/M4) this way ....
BTW, don't turn DSC OFF!

Watch out challenging the laws of physics in the cold.
