Not the full story, but a fair summary.

So from a traction\stability point of view, is there a difference from going into sport plus or leaving it in normal and pressing the traction control button for a split second?

Sport to Sport Plus allows the car to yaw more when it goes around a corner under power before it steps in to save you...

The traction button is when you have spun off the road and your rear wheels are in sand or snow..they allow the wheels to spin to try and drive you out with excess wheel spin, otherwise the brakes would stop you as well as the throttle being backed off..so great for doughnuts as well!

Something i have noticed in sport mode, if i try to accelerate out of a sharp say left turn the throttle bogs down and then picks up.
I suppose the large difference in rotation speed of the inner and outer wheels is seen as some kind of skid, so the throttle backs off. In sport+ mode that doesn't happen.

According to Birds..purveyors of Quaife LSD pretty standard as power overwhelms standard BMW diff and all power pours into one wheel...
