eco pro/comfort/sport with DS

A little confused by the combinations of driving experience control (eco pro/comfort/sport) and DS/regular at. I read somewhere saying DS only changes the rpm for shifts, while sport mode changes both the rpm and other "feels" (steering, response etc.) Could anyone offer some more insights on this? Thanks!

The Sport mode can be configured to affect steering only, throttle only, gearbox only, dampers only or combinations.

Really?

Until now you have only had combinations available but not individual selections on the X3. So:

Chassis (steering + dampers* + looser dsc) or

Chassis (as above) + gearbox.

*If variable damper control - or whatever BMW calls it in your particular country

When did this change - with MY13?

Effectively. The options are "chassis" (meaning Variable Steering and Dampers) and Engine (meaning both gearbox and throttle response) Sorry for adding up some confusion.

I believe that the third choice is not selecting anything with the button and selecting the DS mode, then I believe the rest stays as it was, but the car changes at a higher rev rate.
