Tested my newly found Sports Plus mode, and it definitely makes a difference !

Tested it on the way to work this morning, after around 10-15 minutes - I always let the car warm up first.

Definitely revs a little harder, and changes are damn fast - almost in the category of short-shifting.

The good news is it didn't over-rev, I was worried that Sports Plus might push the motor too hard - as I suspect its been designed around Petrol/Gas engines (40i/50i), and obviously Diesels don't rev as high (if you do you can damage them..), but it was nicely contained, just barely going into the red zone. To be honest the shifts were so fast it's almost impossible to keep it in the red zone for any appreciable time.
