Below is the response from the Product Manger at BMW USA for the X3
when i asked him this question and why the BMWUSA website was missing the active damper mention in the DHP description a few months ago:

Hey Tory,
Yes the DHP still has the variable damping, they just changed the way its configured in the ordering system and it made an error on the website. Should be fixed soon.

If you don't have variable damping, the sport button does not change suspension settings, only transmission, steering, and throttle response.

Funny though, BMW never did fix their website and you said this was a few months ago. Very interesting.......
