I owned an E36 M3 and so I know where you're coming from regarding your MCoupe on safety-related TSC issues. That second throttle body is awful!

The E46 M3 was a pretty big step-up, but still an impediment to "fun" driving and possibly a safety issue.

The E90 was a much bigger step up, IMO. And, honestly, if your rear subframe bushing and thrust arm bushings are still stock I'd say the communication you're getting is kind of meh. From a power and dynamic ability standpoint, I actually found the TSC helpful when the car was stock. The one caveat to that being an auto-x in the wet, where I just wanted to have fun.

Once you shore up the rear subframe and front thrust bushings the chassis really comes alive! I've since had more fun turning it off more regularly, but I've never felt like it was a safety issue.

The E90 core system has huge capability - The M3's MDM mode can hold controlled slip angles, etc.

Anyway, my .02
