Configuring driving mode settings

Hey all. I have been seeing and reading all over forums and youtube videos that there is a feature to configure driving mode settings. For example for sport mode, you can change the settings to affect only drivetrain, only suspension, or both. In my 2016 M-sport 535i, I do not have this option? I do have the eco, comfort, sport, and sport+ selector. But I don't have the option to configure those settings in driving mode.

Would this imply that I don't have adaptive suspension? Because to be honest, when I put in sport mode, I really don't feel the suspension tighten up at all. The only difference I notice is the throttle response (and that it keeps me out of 8th gear). What exactly are the other adjustments sport mode makes then?

I am planning to get the KW coilovers. There is the EDC delete kit which is about $375 and I thought that is required for adaptive suspension otherwise the CEL will go off. So do I need the coilovers with the EDC delete kit or not?

Thanks in advance

If you do not have the option to change when switching into sport, you do not have dynamic drive or dynamic damper control.

So I do not need the EDC delete unit because I do not have adaptive drive, right?
