My stock M235i had a very intrusive traction control, even in semi traction mode. The behavior was obvious even in normal everyday driving. The car would twitch mid turn and cut the power so often that I couldn't take it anymore. I upgraded to the Dinan spec 19s with 235/265 MPS 4S tires which helped a lot. Unfortunately during spirited driving I still had to use the DSC off mode for the car to feel free.
Conversely my M2C doesn't exibit any obvious "nanny" intrusions like my M235i did. Many people had been hacking their US model cars to the Euro traction specs. Maybe BMW wised up with the M2C with a much looser traction control. As I stated earlier in this thread, in MDM the car allows quite a bit of sliding. It is so free that in the rare slippery conditions that we get here I leave the traction on.
