BMW xDrive Offers All-Wheel Drive Peace of Mind

xDrive offers all-wheel-drive peace of mind.
Unlike other all-wheel-drive systems, we've built xDrive, BMW's intelligent all-wheel-drive system with rear-wheel bias for surefooted grip on slick or uneven roads, without sacrificing the feel of rear-wheel drive. It smartly sends power to the wheel or wheels with the surest footing—and it does so in milliseconds. That means under normal conditions, drive forces are spread out with a rear-wheel bias. But the moment the system senses excessive wheel slip, it subtly shifts torque to meet the changing conditions, offering maximum available traction and superior handling on all surfaces—despite the weather conditions.
