Stock brakes are fine, just be sure you have fresh fluid. As far as DSC goes, just see how things progress with your instructor. My suggestion, make it known early on that you want some track time with DSC off. Some instructors insist on such anyway, but others are slow to recommend it. And honestly, it really depends on your progress. Some folks have a natural feel for handling dynamics, and others acquire it slower. I have a lot of track time with different cars, and the M3 is about as forgiving as any car you could drive. At a certain point in your development, you will have to drive with DSC off in order to really control the car with your inputs. With good instruction, you will be comfortable with it, and probably will rarely use it again.
