Principle
M xDrive is the all-wheel-drive system of the ve‐
hicle. M xDrive and DSC Dynamic Stability Con‐

driving dynamics. M xDrive variably distributes
the drive forces to the front and rear axles as de‐
manded by the driving situation and road condi‐
tion.

Three M xDrive programs are available when
DSC Dynamic Stability Control is deactivated.
