You guessed it, only when on summer tires when the temp is 40 or below. Winter tires go no this week!

Sure: no debate "the back end
starts to come around" [my emphasis].
This event was like a light switch being turned on: straight ahead then no wiggle, just very extreme oversteer
And I have experienced oversteer in this M3 at lower temps, on back roads, w/ damp spots etc.
I guess I should have made that clear earlier: I have driven my car - MDM, no DSC etc - back roads = irregular surface], early morning in winter [colder than 40F] etc - and this lack of warning (e.g. more than usual slip) has
never happened. Which is why I posted the original query.
