Yes I agree, you should be able to remove DSC and still be in Sport mode.

I find the pedal mapping still feels a bit elastic in comfort, it makes the engine feel more laggy than it is.
Sport mode feels crisper but I agree 100% is about half the pedal travel. That's a trick most small french cars use to make them feel responsive.

On the BMW the accelerator has way more travel than normal with it being floor mounted. My VW has a floor mounted pedal too and to be honest I think I prefer a normal lever mounted pedal.

I'm still not adjusted to it I think is the main reason, my VW Tdi reacts far quicker to pedal input but again I think that is mapped so full power is obtained around 75% travel and the pedal travel is shorter.
