As has already been discussed & mentioned...the STEPTRONIC transmission and ATC (adaptive transmission control) sport mode and adaptive mode on the e53 is basically a remap of the shifting patterns of the transmission. All to get the most from the engines power reserves. There are no other systems involved (like suspension or brakes etc)...just transmission shifting and DME engine intervention:
