Managed to get the F10 M5 a little sideways (using the programmed M2, which is all on Sport +, with comfort steering & traction on) in the first 70 miles, but it felt very predictable. Will not be on traction off for foreseeable future... its a beast !

Lovely car and has exceeded my expectations !

me too, it's a brilliant day. the current line up at Bedford is just superb. though I'm slightly sad to see the V8 M3 being replaced by the M4...

The e92 in MDM was standard stuff and I almost always had it in that mode, it was very easy to read, but with the M5 in MDM I found it more unpredictable and sh*t your pants time especially when I experienced DCT delays and erratic changes on roundabouts/corners when the torque kicked it... bumpy roads and crests made the arse twitch too much for my liking. maybe something to do with CP and sp+ suspension which unsettled the rear more at speed?

anyway, I do miss my m5 a bit..!

I did the exact same thing a couple days ago and it scared the sh@$ of me. Roads were wet and I said why not see how much I can spin the tires on a wet two lane road with drainage ditches on either side in front of my neighborhood. I made the turn, punched it and a little spin than all of the sudden the rear snapped right than left and my heart jumped out of my chest while I'm sliding sideways down the road. All I could do was go to second and ease off the pedal.

Looking back it was fun but I had no idea what I was doing. I never tried this in my E60 M5 and shouldn't have in my F10 on a public road.
