What does engine/shift adjustment do for the transmission in a manual?

I understand that adjusting it can change the amount of power you get from the engine but does it change anything related to gear engagement in a manual?

There is no "engine/shift" adjustment that I'm aware of. The "engine" setting for the modifiable modes just affects the throttle. It does not change the amount of power.

When you push the V mode button there is an "engine/shift" option that you can adjust.

If I had to venture a guess I'd say it has something to do with the responsiveness of the rev matches or how responsive the engine is between shifts. But that's just my guess.

The question came up at SM and it was determined to change the throttle mapping, as @BimmerFan said.
