Never mind. See below from BMW CA website on Performance Control. Looks like it's only available with all wheel drive. I'm leaning towards rear wheel drive, so likely won't be getting this.

Joy awaits around the next corner.
Performance Control in the BMW X1.
This optional technology for xDrive models uses dynamic engine and braking intervention to improve cornering behaviour, thus boosting driving pleasure and enhancing safety at the same time. Through targeted braking, optimal torque is distributed to the individual wheels depending on the driving situation. Performance Control also optimises engine performance management by gently breaking the rear wheel on the inside of the bend while at the same time increasing torque to the wheel on the outside of the bend. This allows for particularly dynamic conerning with the best possible grip. The new BMW X1 also responds to steering commands more spontaneously, for increased agility and sporty driving.
