BMW xDrive
Principle
BMW xDrive is the all-wheel-drive system of
the vehicle. Concerted action by the BMW
xDrive and other suspension control systems
such as Dynamic Stability Control further opti-
mizes traction and driving dynamics.
General information
BMW xDrive variably distributes the drive
forces to the front and rear axles as required
by the driving situation and road conditions.

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.
Variable sport steering
The variable sports steering facilitates direct
and agile handling with little steering effort.
The variable sports steering works independ-
ently of the current speed, varying the steering
gear ratio in line with the steering angle.
