If you don't understand this, then you will never be able to effectively control the car yourself with DSC off.

If you really want to learn how to control your M3, sign up for an autocross. Run the first session with DSC on, the second session in MDM mode, and the third session with DSC off. You will be humbled.
While I agree with the essence of your intended message, I can't say I agree with the post itself though.

DSC does indeed limit the car's abilities by reining the car. It is tuned very conservatively for safety and will make interventions before an actual loss of traction occurs. This is also true in MDM, but to a much lesser extent.
