Now that is an interesting question? In addition to the throttle and steering configurations I'd imagine (from the user manual description) the transmission part can be configured in i-Drive to activate 'sport mode' for the sport setting on the toggle switch, but would only be equal to the stick being put in sport. I'm of the opinion only the sport box option will have the shorter shift times.

Whether the steering and throttle settings are identical to the 2TB software configurations, that is a harder call, but why not, if the hardware is also the same? We've got to remember that wheel sizes have a lot to do with how the steering feel is fed back to the driver, as well as the configured software settings.

The posted dynamic systems description is from page 36 of the full UK F10 brochure. Option details from page 52.
