Sport+ mode is standard on all 2013 X3
The BMW Driving Experience Control with Eco Pro, Normal, Sport, and Sport+ modes are standard on all 2013 X3 28i and 35i.
But, if you want Dynamic Damping Control for switchable suspensions, you need to order the Dynamic Handling Package. DHP comes with Dynamic Damping Control, variable sport steering, and performance control. Check the BMW sites for how each of these features work. You will be using the same buttons for the Driving Experience Control, to control the Dynamic Damping. |

I have a 2013 35i with the Dynamic Handling Package, and you have the option to configure Sports modes to adjust "Drivetrain and Chassis", just Drivetrain, or just Chassis. Without the dynamic handing package you don't have dynamic dampers or variable sport steering, so there would be no way to adjust the chassis. So would only the drivetrain be adjusted in sports modes without DHP? That would be a much different sports mode then what you'd get with DHP. I would definitely highly recommend DHP. It's a fairly reasonably priced package, and the difference when you switch driving modes is pretty dramatic. |

I just got my 2013 28i fully loaded without DHP.
It gives me Eco, comfort, sport mode. My car is still on the break on period with 587 miles on it. I tired the sport mode once, it only changes the transmission map or throttle which gives me a awesome jitter or something and it changes ur steering to a tighter one. So far I haven't noticed any suspension or chassis tightening. The reason why I said I haven't noticed such things is because I came from 2012 35i with DHP. Had to return it because of the emission thingy.

With DHP equipped X3s the car also comes with dynamic dampers and variable steering like you said. With non-DHP X3s you can only change the throttle response, shift points (drivetrain) and steering tightness (chassis). |

Beyu,
I configured my sport mode to change the driveline only. Sport+ is reserved for the full sport mode with the steering and dampers brought into the equation.
