The "///M" DSC only has one single mode. On or Off. Even the E46 M3, it's always been the same. Single press disables DSC. Only the Competition Package E46 M3 has multiple levels of DSC engagement, where an "M-Track Mode" is available by pressing a separate button to allow for more wheel slippage than regular DSC would allow.
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.
