When I went to the 1 Day M school earlier this year many of the instructors were remarking that the E60 M5 never spun in MDM but the F10 does with some frequency.

I haven't driven a comp pack so I don't know if the MDM was altered in this way.
Yes - but it's a good thing. If you're not in the mood to hoon about, don't use MDM. It's very different than it was in the E60. In the E60, you had to turn the nannies off entirely to kick out the the tail -- in the F10, MDM lets you have quite a bit more fun.

This is the main reason I prefer RWD even though it's less practical on the whole.
