Change in power with M mode

Hey folks, curious if this is a feature or issue....

While cruising in Sport+ mode, holding a steady speed and throttle positon... if I press the M button I can feel a change instantly in drag/speed.... almost feels like turning on and off the AC.
It isn't shifting or anything, just a weird sensation and am curious if this is documented or normal.
Car is a 2019 c43 wagon.

I've noticed that the throttle mapping is changed in manual mode. The throttle response isn't as sharp. I've done research on this, but no one else has ever spoken up about it. Not sure if others have it too, or they're just neglecting it

To OP yes same feeling but thank you to you for doing research on this and confirmed it wasn't just in my head.

Weird! throttle response is one thing.... as long as it isn't impacting performance at all (other than my inability to choose shift points accurately)
