Drive Performance Control

I have a 520d M Sport with manual transmission on order, which should be delivered in early October. I was playing with the BMW configurator yesterday, as it has recently been updated to take take account of new pricing which applied to my order.

When viewing the interior images, I noticed there was the Normal/Sport switch next to the manual gearlever. I did think this only came with the Sport Auto box, but it is listed in the spec summary as Drive Performance Control - 4U2, and now seems to be standard on all F10 variants.

Does anybody know anything about this function and whether it is any different to the function that always came with the Sport Auto box? My understanding is that it allows alteration to the steering and throttle response, but the link below also refers to being able to fine tune the ride, which I don't really believe TBH.
