Long press gives you DSC OFF which is normal throttle with sport+ steering.
The table says differently. Look at it. In both DTC and DSC OFF, steering as well as everything else is always in "basic" or "comfort". There is no such thing as "sport+ steering". The table shows are only two possibilities for steering - basic or sport.

I've tried. I cannot detect any difference in steering feel, regardless of what mode I'm in. Maybe it's only obvious at slow speed. I drove 911s on various tracks for 15 years and I think I'm pretty good at feeling a car's dynamics. I'll keep playing and see if I can figure it out. What I really want to see is a BMW engineering document that explains in minute detail how every system in the car acts in every possible driving configuration. Little chance of getting that, though.
