I drove it today. Unfortunately I couldn’t do a very comprehensive analysis, with factory tires and 37 degree temps. I pulled out of my driveway with the car in Sport mode and the controller on SP.8. I couldn’t even take off without spinning.

While this provided mountains of entertainment, it wasn’t very productive in assessing the controller.
After warming up the tires as much as possible (if you can call it that) and putting some miles on, I experimented with different microlevels of the Controller’s Sport mode and the car in both Touring and Sport modes. I found that under my current weather conditions, i was able to somewhat limit spin with the car in Touring mode and the controller in SP.4. Even with those “mild” combination of settings the throttle feels more responsive (minimal lag between pressing the pedal and feeling acceleration) and the “bog” issue is noticeably improved. *I caveat this with the statement that I never really took issue with the M6 “bog” because I’ve always been able to modulate the throttle by feel and eliminate that as an issue.
I can’t wait for some warmer weather to further evaluate the controller. Based on what I’ve seen so far I consider it a no brainer, especially at the price point.
