I live in Houston TX, and there is some crazy weather here. I was wondering if anyone who lives somewhere it rains often has had any issues with their M cars and traction? I have never had RWD before, always had AWD, both in my cars and SUVs.

Could someone educate me on the topic of how these things drive in rain?

Thanks!
RWD M5/M6 in rain "is fun"
But, seriously the first month of driving M5/M6 with that huge power/torque is kinda scary... don't worry you will get used to it soon sunny day with MDM is as much fun as rainy day with DSC ON....
and yes there is traction issue... we all are living with this issue, but who cares? there are a world precedence beside that issue
