When my m4 was stock, I could easily spin the tires 1st-2nd by just hammering the throttle. Seems a bit off if you can't.

my 2016 m3 can spin the tires anywhere under 40 mph in sport mode, 6 speed manual, if i put my foot into it....it had more traction when the tires were new, it's very manageable ....

It might have something to do with the stock ECU mapping.
I found my 2015 in stock mode was / had very aggressive traction control. last month we updated the factory software to the latest and it is far more lively. with the jb4 on map 2, traction is a real crap throw... |

Is it a ZCP? The changes to the shock valving and engine torque curve has really reduced traction issues. My '18 ZCP will stay planted with traction--it takes effort to break the tires loose.

Stop in front of a police station push the dcs button, then slam the throttle.
Report back afterwards

I assume the majority of people are talking about the 6MT as opposed to DCT? It really was only mentioned a few times, but I suspect if the OP has a DCT it will act entirely different than a MT. I can’t imagine a MT car that can’t spin tires with a clutch dump; I just don’t have control over my clutches, aside from loosely being able to with launch control. |

My 2016 M4 6MT felt like it wanted to kill me on the daily - would smoke the tires with ease and break lose out back constantly.
My 2018 M3 6MT Competition much more composed, planted, less likely to spin the tires!

My 2015 smoked the tires all the time, it was glorious.
My 2018 Comp is more planted, will still smoke the tires but need to do it deliberately. I haven't even lost the back end of an angry 1-2 shift on my 2018 like the 2015, that car always wanted to step out and I loved it. I want my 2015 back, and you'll think I'm nuts but I might unload this 2018 at the insane prices 2018 LCIs are going for and pick up a 2015 again with like 40-50k miles and a Carmax warranty hah. |

It's all in the torque curve. If you update the software on a 2015/2016 it will get the new torque curve and the car will be more planted in the low rpms. You have to find a 2015/16 that hasn't been updated if you want that insane torque down low! It's fun but not practical in anyway!

My 2016 f80 6mt/ 2018 dct broke tires loose every single day without a problem. Went through tires in 10k miles. Check for boost leaks and keep up with routine maintenance. |

But if you are talking about traction off, I can make my 96 Toyota Avalon burn out crazy. Doesn't even need a m4 to do it |
