On an OG / non-Comp car, disabling traction control (DSC long press) puts your steering (and throttle) into "Sport" mode. (FWIW, there is no "Sport+" steering mode -- per BMW's documentation, "Sport+" drive mode switch just uses "Sport" steering. We have "Sport" and "Comfort" and that's it for steering options.)
I have seen BMW's table of modes, but there is more to it than they are declaring in the table.

There are 4 x distinct steering modes on the car:
- Comfort
- Sport
- Sport+ (the difference to Sport is small admittedly, but noticeable)
- DSC disabled (not to be confused with Traction mode that uses Comfort steering)

It may be on the earlier ISTEPs that the differences were less pronounced, so not noticeable, but on the later versions it's as above.
