Performance Control basically allows you to throw it around corners a bit quicker...
It also increases the speed limitation. E.g. 130mph for a stock X3 30d, 137mph for X3 30d M Sport (M Sport includes Performance Control in the UK) Not that I've tested this of course

It seems Performance Control is a brake based torque vectoring system between left and right rear wheels. Does it actually alter the front/rear axle torque split?
If not, then an actual Limited Slip Diff like Quaife/Torsen would be superior in performance applications. http://www.birdsauto.com/parts/M2533705914 |

Just to throw my thoughts in the pot.

It doesn't use 8th which is a cruising gear.
VDC works well for me, except it's a bit too soft over speed bumps. |
