General information
BMW xDrive variably distributes the drive
forces to the front and rear axles as required
by the driving situation and road conditions.
With the xOFFROAD package, the all-wheel-
drive system is also adjusted to the respective
xOFFROAD driving mode.

M sport differential
The M Sport differential provides for continu-
ously variable locking of the rear axle differen-
tial, depending on the driving situation. This
prevents spinning of a single rear wheel and
thereby provides optimal traction in any driving
situation.
The driver is responsible adapting his or her
driving style to the situation.

Hill Descent Control
Principle
Hill Descent Control is a downhill control fea-
ture that adjusts the vehicle speed on steep
downhill gradients, e.g., when driving on un-
paved roads.
General information
When the system is active, the vehicle moves
at the speed set by the driver, without the
driver having to depress the brake pedal.
While Hill Descent Control is adjusting the
speed, the system automatically distributes the
brake force to the individual wheels. This im-
proves driving stability and steerability. If nec-
essary, the Antilock Braking System prevents
the wheels from locking.
Hill Descent Control can be enabled at speeds
below approx. 25 mph/40 km/h.
Speeds can be set between approx.
2 mph/3 km/h and approx. 20 mph/30 km/h.
When the vehicle is driving downhill, the sys-
tem reduces the speed to the set value, within
the physical limits.
Hill Descent Control provides support when
driving in selector lever positions D, N, and R.
