Having driven multiple Competition Package equipped E46 M3s as well as the MZ4 Coupe, the DSC on the MZ4 Coupe is far more similar to the E46 M3's "track" mode allows.
I don't know if it's DSC intervening, or if the ABS is kicking in...If you're not pressing on the brake pedal and you can feel the car slowing down, then DSC is definitely still intervening. Although my experience has been otherwise, once DSC is pressed, you're on your own. A great place to test it out is actually, the banked oval portion of Auto Club Speedway. At 120+mph through turn 2, the outside wheel and the inside wheel turns at drastically different speed. Enough so that the DSC freaks out and tries to brake the outside front tire thinking you're just about to understeer into the nearest wall. Turn DSC off and the car doesn't care one way or another, even with the 15º bank and giant sweeper at 120mph.
You can press that DSC button all you want, there's no other mode to engage on the MZ4 Coupe.

To fully turn off the DSC, remember to press and hold the DSC button for 10-12 seconds, and be 100% concentrate when you drive. To make sure its on that mode, you wont be able to turn it off unless engine is off.
Just a press on DSC does not fully disengaged DSC, but it does give amateur like me more fun on the track!
100% sure this is it on my 03 E46M, but not so sure if E86M is any different.
