No it doesn't.

The switch - Drive Performance Control - is present if you have any of the following options fitted to an early F10:

a) Sports Auto Transmission
b) Variable Damper Control
c) Adaptive Drive

It's functionality will vary with fitted options but in it's most basic form it sharpens throttle response, steering feel and puts the gearbox into Sport mode (You can configure which of these options it controls yourself in settings).

My 2010 F10 has no Variable Damper Control but does have Sports Auto Transmission and is therefore fitted with Drive Performance Control.

I believe it then became standard across the range for MY12 with the addition of Eco Pro etc.

The quote about Sport+ meaning you have adaptive dampers is wrong. You get the Sport + if you have an MSport model.
Sport+ is a selectable option on any pre LCI car with Drive Performance Control - my SE has Sport+. It is nothing to do with trim level.
