There was an older youtube video of a review just on the m2 forum recently and it showed a red BMW (M3 I think), where the reviewer compared normal off the line acceleration and MDM mode off the line acceleration. It seemed like he made MDM out to be a performance mode.

But from our M2 manuals, MDM is explained:

M Dynamic Mode MDM
The concept
M Dynamic Mode makes it possible to drive on
a dry roadway with high longitudinal and transverse
acceleration but with limited driving stability.
Only in the absolute limit area does the system
intervene for stabilization by reducing the engine
power and by braking interventions on the
wheels. In this driving condition, additional
steering corrections may be necessary.

You may find it useful to briefly activate MDM under the following special circumstances:

- When driving in slush or on uncleared, snow-covered roads.
- When freeing vehicle from deep snow or driving off from loose grounds.
- When driving with snow chains.

So MDM I guess is considered 'Traction' mode really....
