No way to disable that i have seen.

Pulling the ABS fuse/relay MAY work....it may also cause the car to freak out too. Who knows what it would do to the DCT...

Also, on my GT3, if you had a wheel "lifted" (going out of a step driveway at an angle), and tapped the brakes, it would cause an ABS fault and disable the system for you. There was no "shut off" for the ABS taht I was aware of, but this worked everytime. Maybe the M3 will also disable it if it senses a fault.

Just had a thought...............maybe unplug one of the ABS sensors (pick a wheel!). I am sure it will cause a fault. Being as it is in fault mode, it may deactivate the system entirely. Worth a shot, and it would be easy to do and reverse.
