This. The thing I miss most about my last car (Audi) was the traction/stability control. The only indication it was kicking in was the blinking light in the instrument panel - no abrupt jerkiness or loss of motivation, just smooth, maximum acceleration/cornering with all available grip. BMW could learn a lot from them about traction control.
