PSM + PASM tech question
Can I have your folks' input?
Firstly, I'm not certain, but I don't think my PSM is kicking in at all. I'm getting more wheelspin exiting wet junctions quickly than I would expect, and the other day I was a little too enthusiatic putting the power down exiting a wet roundabout, and the back slid out more than I thought it would have done considering my slow reactions at the end of a Friday commute - not a peep from the PSM.
Q1) Does PSM allow you noticable wheel spin from stand-still before cutting power back? I seem to remember it was much keener to step in last winter.
Now, I also have this behaviour where I turn PSM off and the handling characteristics of the car chage noticably. Straight line, constant speed, turn the PSM off and the steering and general handling sharpens up. Seems like there is interaction between the PSM and the PASM system.
Q) Does anyone else get this? I would have thought that turning PSM on/off should have NO impact on the PASM settings. I would appriciate everyone trying this and reporting back.
Thanks in advance

It really happened only once to me on wet tarmac during my pick-up tour (clutch brandnew and me not yet completely familiar with the car) and it resulted in a trampling of the rear axle (not really recommended to repeat due to high stress on all the mechanical parts) 
), it does allow a degree of slippage before it flashes away, but you'd have to be a sensitive driver to really notice the delay.
