Question 240D Traction

Hey all! I did a search before hand, and didn't really find what I was looking for, anyways,

Today with no one around I made a fast and hard turn on a wet road and witnessed a huge skid/slide in my 240D. (it was pretty fun ) Once I got home I started wondering, does the 240D have any traction control at all? Does it have ABS?

I went on the internet to educate myself more on Traction Control, ESP ect.... and I found this video on youtube... After watching it, I felt a bit bummed out, because I think my car would have failed all those haha.. Am I right? I know they use a new jag with all those features, but if those situations came up, and I was in my 240D would I have to wait for the ice to melt? Would I have crashed as bad as he did? Thanks everyone!
