xDrive
Principle
xDrive is the all-wheel system of the vehicle. The
interaction between xDrive and other drive con‐
trol systems, such as Dynamic Stability Control
DSC, further optimises traction and driving dy‐
namics. xDrive distributes the drive forces varia‐
bly between the front and rear axles according to
the driving situation and road surface conditions.
The Driving Experience Control makes it possi‐
ble to change the four-wheel drive distribution
from traction-based to sport-based.
Efficient4x4 reduces consumption by using the
all-wheel drive according to requirements.
