DRIVING HINTS
car washes generally not sufficient for this in the
wheel area.
Also follow the notes on this under vehicle care,
see page 356, and safe braking, see page 292.
Drivetrain
The M xDrive four-wheel drive system variably
distributes torque between the front and rear
axles. The combination of M xDrive, active M dif‐
ferential and adaptive M suspension in this vehi‐
cle ensures a high degree of driving dynamics
that is typical of BMW M.
Driving on a racing track
The higher mechanical and thermal loads in‐
volved in driving on racing tracks lead to in‐
creased wear. This wear is not covered by the
warranty. The vehicle is not conceived for use in
motor sports competitions.
Before driving on a racing track, have the vehicle
checked at a Service Partner of the manufacturer
or another qualified Service Partner or a special‐
ist workshop.
The standard brake pads and the wear displays
are not designed for racing track operation.
Further information and advice can be obtained
from a Service Partner of the manufacturer or an‐
other qualified Service Partner or a specialist
workshop.
