I can just floor it whilst I'm moving and the wheels spin - traction does kick in, but too late. The DSC light does come on. ABS work fine, but traction doesn't. When I had an E46 M3, the traction would stop the power delivery almost as soon as the rear wheels span.

I know you have better traction with the snow chains, but how soon does your traction control kick in?
