Gone on 530i and 530e, but still on 540i if memory serves me. Check the PDF guide posted here to be fully sure.

They cut a lot from the 530i/e in MY2021.

MSport Pro appears to include Adaptive Suspension, but Adaptive Drive doesn't appear to be an option any longer.

Adaptive suspension allows you to select Comfort, Sport, or Sport+ mode for the dampers, along with the mode that constantly adjusts the dampers dependant on how you're driving. Adaptive Drive is a feature (in Germany at least, and on the pre-LCI models) that provided active roll stability, firming up the dampers to keep the car flat.

There was a time when choosing options felt like you could create your perfect car; now it feels like BMW UK are telling you what you can't have - very frustrating.

The Adaptive Suspension on my 530e doesn’t give options to select a mode. I can’t select Comfort or Sport (there is no Sport+ on mine) and adaptive it’s either a mode or Adaptive. When in Adaptive as you say it decides on the suspension settings according to your style of driving and road conditions. If you are poodling along it softens it but if you are piling through tight bends it tightens it.
