BUT...you really are missing out. While I have not tried euro MDM but I think anyone wanting to become an advanced level driver that can trail brake, throttle steer, and intentionally and aggressively slide and rotate the car needs to turn DSC off. The M3 can do that stuff and do it very well in an easily controllable manner. And its super fun! I think it is borderline dangerous for a driver in a fast advanced group to rely on the nannies to save them because what you are not doing is being aware of all the feedback from the car. IMO, it breeds complacency.
On a side note, I do know that The Driver's Edge will NOT promote you from blue to yellow (run groups from green-blue-yellow-red) if you drive with traction control on. I'm curious to see what PCA and BMWCCA say about traction control.

It's also ironic that even in MDM mode, you can hardly feel one of the best features of the car. The M3's LSD. In order to get that grunt and tug out of the corner, all nannies need to be off.
