never had a chance to. the only time i got to face off with the M3 and the S4 I was already on the on ramp onto the freeway. And the M3 was a SMG convertible and the stock S4 was just no match. There is only one other time i got to duel with a E36 328/325 M3 look-a-like at the light. I burned him pretty bad with esp blinking through 1st gear.

If you're a smooth enough driver, there's a lot you can do even with ESP on. It's not always necessary to turn it off. Of course that doesn't mean I don't do it on occasion.

Really, the only time I dislike it is with the left-turn-at-a-stoplight thing, or occasionally (depending on the road surface) on acceleration from a stop. Otherwise I never even notice it. It is a good safety net!
And, like someone posted before, the ESP-off switch only turns off some aspects of the system. I believe it will still selectively brake the wheels to avoid a spin.
