335d slipping in turns

So when I was originally shopping for cars, I test drove BMW, Audi, Merc, and every other car in the same range. What helped me decide on the BMW was how the 335i e93 hugged the road during the winds and turns, and there was never a point where I felt uncomfortable with the speed I was going.

Fast forward a few months later, and I now own a 2011 335d. I have sport suspension, Miro 111 19" wheels w/ Hankook V12 tires with only 2500 miles on them. Tire pressure is 35F 42R, per the pressure listed on the door. I wouldn't say I'm a super aggressive driver, but I have noticed that on freeway ramps with long curves, my back tires seem to slip a little, at least to the point where I have to let off on the throttle. I understand that the 335d's torque tends to slip the wheels sometimes, but is this something that should be happening? Is there something I can change to prevent this kind of slipping in the future?
