Slight oversteer is no joke when you're going 100+ mph. Unless you are racing professionally, it makes the car moot. Turning electronic stability control off on a 500HP RWD beast on the track is a death wish for almost all car enthusiasts.

I think that the S55 power output on the M4 is appropriate given the dynamics of the car. I think MB consistently puts more power than the car should handle, just like American cars except for Corvette.
