Physically remove it.

Does anyone know if it's the same mechanism as on the e36's?

Press and hold DSC/ASC button for more than 3 seconds, you will disable whole system.It has to be done every time you restart the engine.

Bavarian Auto, a discount aftermarket parts source, has an explanation of a way to only partially disable the DSC/ASC system in their latest newsletter. The trick they describe leaves throttle response unaffected but does let the ABS help with tirespin. You can probably read the article on their site Bavarian Autosport | BMW Parts and BMW Accessories . I live in snow country and am eager to try this hack.
