x3 35i dsc off mode

My 2012 35i doesn't have sport package nor DHP. Does it have driving dynamics control (DDC)? I noticed when DSC is turned off (press for 10 seconds), dashboard indicates " sports oriented chassis setting", all chassis being red in the figure. The steering feels a bit tighter and suspension a bit firmer (it's definitely a change comparing to normal, not placebo effect). Anyone has same feeling with DSC off? Is this "sports oriented chassis setting" identical to "sports+" in the SAP? If no, then X3 35i has two separated sports oriented chassis settings?

If you don't have the rocker switch next to the transmission lever (normal-sport) there is no way you have the Dynamic Dampers. If you have the Variable Sportssteering you could experience the tightening steering. The change you feel probably comes from a slight change in the gear ratio and the fact that the stability control becomes more "loose"
