I also recall James May saying something to the tune of "The Stig has turned off the car's stability control all together (DSC OFF), which locks up the rear differential for extra *hooligan*?". It was at this point he was hurled across the rear seats of the 760Li the Stig was drifting.
That is possible. I can surely feel the differential brake feature work in DSC Off, but I am not quite sure if it is doing anything at all in other modes, as the stability control keeps interfering with my driving when I want to find out. I am guessing no differential brake, but I guess only the BMW engineers know for sure.
