Is the "Sprint" function available in non Shadowline M240i

According to the Forbes article online and the post in the forum below, The "sprint" feature is available only in Shadowline for 230i. My question is whether the "Sprint" feature is standard to M240i whether it's Shadowline or not.

For those who already have the M240i without Shadowline, can you please try and confirm? It should be a fun test . Thank you

Sprint function (part of the optional Shadowline Package for 230i): allows transmission to automatically shift into lowest usable gear when the driver pulls left-hand shift paddle for at least one
second. All of the powertrain and chassis systems are switched to their sharpest sport settings.

I did see this mentioned in my manual (m240 non shadowline) when I was browsing through it the other week. I will try it out and see if it works.

I had a hunch that it wasn't really from the shadowline package, but rather the M sport pro package which isn't available in the US. But the video below refutes that. Hopefully will hear more from someone that got their delivery.

Here is a review I saw it discussed. He has shadowline and he was able to put it into sprint mode and it is a US spec.

At 31 minutes

I can confirm it easily goes into Sprint mode.

If my understanding of what sprint function is, I have it (non-shadowline and non-cooling and wheel package). I was cruising in 7th gear, held the paddle shift down and it dropped me to 3rd.
