Have been thinking about a new M3 f80 and was wondering how bad is it in the wet ?

Having had Audi's for most of my driving life I do like the ease of performance in wet conditions. Also having read a few reviews about the TC is very intrusive in the M3 has got me thinking if I would actually enjoy owning one.

Well had a short test drive in a M4 cab, as that was the only dealer demo they had.

Didn't notice any real traction issues but it was dry and warm and I was giving it full throttle from about 50mph and didn't see the TC light flicker but then the cab is heavier. But what did concern me is that the RS4 I test drove a few weeks felt more of an event, I really need to drive the M3 for longer but doubt that is possible with my local dealer.
