Mission is a big go-kart track...I would never try the C63 there.

'15 E63S wagon
Ok,
So I'm not the best driver out there but I have been chasing cones for a while now. I took the car out for the second time to an autox this past weekend. I gotta say this car really disappointed me in this environment. While I reallly love the way the car behaves on the road (way more fun than, say, an E92 M3) it felt really horrible in a quick-transient venue.
Understeer was way worse than I can imagine...I tried to brake as earlier as I can and go in slow and smooth but it either crawls threw or does mid-corner plows. The girth really shows on this thing...braking/turning...just not there.
Lastly, I'm pretty sure I completely disabled the ESP (set to OFF, not SPORT). Does it still intervene if I leave it in S mode? Or do I have to go straight to M? I felt it cutting on WOT and a bit on turns.
I'm not trying to bag on the car since I still love it for the other 99.9% of the time but definitely brought a knife to a gunfight.
Anyone else try to autox their C63?
Cheers,
