The BMW brand’s all-wheel drive system is known as xDrive, and it ensures drivers experience the best possible ride at all times. xDrive is a permanent all-wheel drive system from BMW that under normal experiences distributes driver power between both the front and rear axles with a slight favoring to the rear axle. The power is distributed between front and rear axles in a 40:60 ratio. That figure will change when the road surface or overall driving conditions change. The xDrive system is an intelligent all-wheel drive system that offers a surefooted grip on slick or uneven roads while not giving up the feel of rear-wheel drive. It makes the changes, no matter how slight or large, in just milliseconds. The moment the system realizes the wheels have slipped, it subtly shifts torque in order to match the changing conditions. This provides the optimum amount of traction and handling.
Many of our new BMW models for sale can be equipped with the BMW xDrive system, so whether you’re driving one of our luxurious and sporty sedans such as the 2017 BMW 3 Series, or our refined and capable crossovers, like the 2017 BMW X5, our team has got you covered!
