Are the only settings to get max performance/sport out of the car the Program(C -> M -> S) and the suspension (Sport -> Comfort)?

All the other cars have sport+ modes or dynamic settings, so this seems pretty simple!

Thanks for any info.

Indeed only C/S/M en C/S are available in the current S63. The new facelifted cars (sedan for sale now, coupe and cabrio presented on IAA in September) will have the C/S/S+/M modes (apparantly NO Race mode in the S63 as in the E63). Also with 9-speed MCT (instead of 7-speed MCT now).

Using the Manual mode gives me more than enough dynamic performance however, shifting is fast (but not as fast as in the DCT in the AMG GTC I drove 2 weeks ago!).

BTW, you can turn ESP off also somewhere hidden in the menu of the instrument cluster.
