This seems to affect older cars (mine is built 03/2017) and the problem gets worse with square tire setup (245/45/18 in my case).

Solution: update the DSC software (I went from 505 to 530). The updated software has much less intrusive stability control. Besides solving the above problem the car is way more fun to drive when DSC and TCS doesn't panic all the time.
Awesome, I used to have this problem in my 350Z after switching to a square setup. My solution was to switch off the traction control the minute i got in the car.

BMW FTW.
