I wonder if it will aid poor traction in slippy conditions eg snow as well as offer stability generally
Yep, even more confused now! Dynamic Drive, Dynamic Drive Control, Dynamic Performance Control, Drive Performance Control...

The link you posted refers to Dynamic Performance Control, not Drive Performance Control, and it appears to be related to the stability program and not steering or throttle alterations.

After spending ages looking around and trying to decipher things, I've concluded Drive Performance Control is simply a re-named Dynamic Drive Control, which enables steering and throttle alterations, along with reduced traction control in Sport+ mode, however there is also the so called ECO-PRO mode which I'm not sure is included on all 5s or just the Efficient Dynamics model. It appears to be standard on all new 1 series.

I could of course be completely and utterly wrong about some or all of this...
