I appreciate you’re an engineer and would want some tangible technical details, and those might actually be out there somewhere in German language format if you dive deep enough into the internet bowels.
The only details I can provide are woolly memories from press launches and ownership experience.
The Drive profiles and Dynamics overlap to a certain extent.
The Drive part affects steering, throttle, gearbox, aircon, noise etc where as the Dynamics will bring in the VDM, ESC, Diff and such like plus the active safety parameters can be tweaked accordingly.
That’s a very summarised version and it varies between models too.
