Not! Two to 3 foot tall drifts, no problem, it is just a matter of conserving momentum and having the right tires.

Pulled up next to a guy in a Camaro ss - He was spinning at the light.

I love winter with the ///M5
"Awesome" might be a bit of an overstatement. A 500 hp rwd sedan, even with the right tires, is going to be acceptable at best, especially if you've driven AWD in the snow.The M5 is awesome in the snow if you have the proper tires. My wife drives her M in the snow with great confidence.
Having driven an AWD Audi allroad and B5 S4 through a number of Northeast winters, I can tell you that they were better at getting moving, but the M5 handles better given its near 50/50 weight distribution. The Audis understeered horribly, and getting on the gas just made you hit the curb faster. I can steer with the throttle much easier in the M5. One of the car mags did a comparison between front and AWD variants of the same car and found the non AWD cars were better in the snow/ice in everything except getting moving."Awesome" might be a bit of an overstatement.

For what it is, I'm sure the M5 is ok in the snow, but it's all relative.
I can't imagine taking my M5 out in the snow - safety reasons for one and the fact that a speck of salt might touch it...my solution to that is below:
