Yes, you flipped the shifter to the side, you pulled it down to force it into sport mode. Why are you surprised after doing those 2 extra steps that it's still in sport mode?
I'm surprized because I didn't do what you suggested. I simply have selected either COMFORT or EFFICIENCY and all of a sudden, letters which should not have been shown are showing. Could it be that I've pressed the gas pedal more abruptly then normal so the system shifted itself into more sporty driving? I have definitely not shifted the selector otherwise...
No, you need to pull the shifter back to make it go to sport mode. Comfort/Dynamic/Efficiency are done through the drive modes on the MMI. That tailors the ride + throttle response. Sport is done through the shifter. If you look at the console, there is a D<>S on it. I suspect you bumped the shifter and it popped into that mode.
But if i have shifted to the right than the letters would have been M2 instead of S2. I still believe I would have known if i have shifter the selector to the right. I don’t keep my hand on the shifter at all.

You're probably like my wife, every time she shifts into drive for some reason she doesn't watch what she's doing and pulls the shifter all the way back, then lets it bounce back into D.

No, you only get "M" if you are pushing to the right. "S" comes from from being in "D" and then pulling it back again. When in "S" if you pull the shifter back it will toggle to "D".
Just went through an issue with the wife where ours "stopped shifting normally out of 1st gear" (it would rev high and then shift). I drove it, it was fine.
Turns out of you turn on the turn signal, rub your hands across the left paddle when turning, it will put it into M1 and do this.
