You can take mine up for a spin next time. It's tuned now LOL. 4th gear is hilarious.

I am old man. I drive both in Confort Mode
To add on to this, the FK8 LE has a physically different (and diff pn) Adaptive Damping System sensor. I think you also have a gloss black roof (?)

Shifter is different from the prefacelift models, as all the 2020+ got a new shifter assembly. I think the clutch feels different as well.

BMW has actually switched to this chassis naming now. For instance E36 could be non-M or M3. But ever since F chassis, F30 = Non-M Sedan, F80 = M3 Sedan, F32/F82 Coupe, the 2er is weird (F22 Non-M 2 series, F87 M2)

Honda (from what I know) has always had the difference between the models. For instance, DC2 is actually Type R models only. The GSR/Base is DC4 (coupe) or DB7 (sedan). While technically incorrect, most people just say DC2 GSR.
