Trying To Understand Drive Dynamic Control - 520d Sport Auto

I know I keep going on about it but I have attached a PDF showing what I think each mode does, my car is a 520d sport auto and does NOT have VDC. Can anyone confirm that what I have written is correct.
Thanks

Looks right to me. I don't feel that sport plus changes anything versus sport mode, except for the DTC.

Note that 'dynamic drive' is incorrect use of the confusing BMW technology. 4-cyl models can't have Dynamic Drive. If you get a sport auto box, or VDC, then you get Dynamic Driving Control (DDC) - which is what is being referred to in this post.

Thanks Titanflux, just checked and as you say it's not called dynamic drive, dynamic drive is the active stabiliser bit of the Adaptive drive package, 4 cyl models only get VDC. According to my information the bit I am talking about is called Drive Dynamic Control, DDC. Have updated the OP.
