Lmao here at this thread.
Btw, I love my M5 for the way it makes me feel when I drive it. Tires spinning, going sideways, passing people at will. All things that make me happy on my way to and from work.

I'm indifferent to the car I love the engine, dct, features, nav, comfort, but I miss raw power feeling, and a few other minor things which have me dead in the middle. Great car but it can and will not be for everyone.
That said MDM for the win! Traction control should only be turned on for sub 50 degree temps anything over 65 the car is planted even with the BMS... People are putting up sub 2 second 60ft rollouts at the track with 600whp... Ask a guy in the new shelby gt500 who probably has 580-610whp about traction. I'd also say I like the car/dct enough to be intrigued to get back in one later if they ever crack the ecu open or have some real tuning options available. |

Now, with that said, you REALLY love the entire car, not just the drive train, correct? Psst, come over here so nobody can hear me........just say it's perfect or risk several days of punishment. |

Do you have the "beep beep beep" backup alarm (think dump truck in reverse) like my car when the trunk is auto closing? That's what makes me feel like a man! |

Is this the kind of traction problem you guys are having?

Modulating the throttle on a turbo car is more challenging, I admit. I can't wait until all turbo cars offer torque fill like the P1, using electric motors. It's at that point that I'll be first in line for another turbo engine |

BTW, I have said at least two times in this thread that there are valid arguments for both views. And I have never said that the OP was an idiot I just had a misguided joke on the marque/marquee thing (even though a lot of you went further than me afterwards...). Your opinion obviously is very valid as you have experience with both 911 and M5. But apart from the obvious fact that it overpowers it rear wheels, it's still subjective if some prefer that over a AWD cars superior traction at ALL times... BTW it seems the M5 ring taxi manages to go fast round the Ring day after day in a efficient and fun way |
