Yea. First time I auto-x'd my only experience drifting was my golf cart in the rain (which was titssss). I took my 325i to a road course and by the end of the day when most people were gone was drifting and controlling oversteer as if it was my golf cart (very easy).

However, the LSD in the M3 presents a new variable and dynamic of driving when you go into oversteer. The diff really pushes you hard out of a corner when you are in a slide and if you give it too much throttle input, or lift off mid slide, you may not know how to recover it.

Other than drifting in first gear on an empty multi-lane road where you can't run into objects or run off cliffs (and risking a ticket or whatever a jerk cop would give you) I would save it for the auto x
