BMW xDrive® is the brand’s intelligent all-wheel-drive system, designed to enhance traction and control without sacrificing the responsive driving character BMW vehicles are known for. Rather than relying on a fixed distribution of power, xDrive® can adjust how power is delivered as driving conditions change. Fields BMW of Daytona explains how this technology works and what it can bring to your time behind the wheel.
What is BMW xDrive®?
BMW xDrive® is an intelligent all-wheel-drive system that continuously adjusts the distribution of power between the front and rear axles to help optimize traction and handling. The system maintains a rear-wheel bias under many driving conditions, preserving the responsive character associated with BMW rear-wheel drive. When conditions change or traction becomes limited, xDrive® can quickly redistribute power to help keep the vehicle composed and responsive.
How Does the BMW xDrive® System Work?
BMW xDrive® works closely with Dynamic Stability Control to respond as driving conditions change. The vehicle monitors information such as wheel speed and steering inputs to recognize changes in traction and vehicle behavior. xDrive® can then adjust power distribution between the front and rear axles, while Dynamic Stability Control can reduce drive power or apply braking to individual wheels when necessary. Together, these systems help enhance traction and stability on slick roads and during dynamic cornering.
