Yes, sorry - meant to say sport mode is fixed not all modes. But the EDC (and ZCP changes) does adjust rebound damping, as stated in the article:

“Wänninger: It is mainly the rebound which is adjusted by controlling the damper piston valve.”

As for ZCP being measurably faster, is there any data to support that? I've never seen any. Happy to be proved wrong.
Same tires on wider wheels create a broader contact patch profile. See my post above.

I don’t have data but I have to assume BMW does since their engineer is making the claim.
