Sport Individual settings

Does anyone actually know what the Drivetrain (Engine) setting does in Sport Individual? On my F22 225d this setting affected throttle response, and I could actually feel the difference when my foot was in the same position on the throttle pedal and I was switching between Comfort and Sport, but in the G42 it doesn't seem to make a difference? I know it affects the engine noise, but will the throttle response improve only when the Transmission is in Sport/Sport+ as well?

But do you know what the Drivetrain settings affect specifically?

Drivetrains changes the throttle map and gearbox setting.

What does the Transmission setting do then? Have you tested the throttle sensitivity changes between Comfort and Sport/Sport+? Because I can't tell a difference. And I mean Sport Individual configured with Drivetrain in Sport+ and rest in Comfort. I wonder if Drivetrain and Transmission need to be changed together, if that's the case then why would they split the settings apart..?

transmission settings change the RPM's that the car shifts at while engine settings change the throttle/exhaust noise. you'll get more burbles in sport+ engine mode.

Correct, which is what I posted initially. I can't feel the throttle response changing though if the engine is in Sport+ and rest in Comfort. Maybe it's a MY23/iDrive8 thing.
