The fall and winter months bring cooler temperatures and festive holidays, but they also bring more frequent precipitation that can cause wet or icy road conditions. The good news is that if you're driving a BMW with all-wheel drive, you'll drive with peace of mind, knowing your vehicle is prepared to handle whatever road conditions it may encounter. xDrive is BMW's intelligent all-wheel drive system; it ensures that your BMW travels safely and has the best traction possible in all driving situations. In normal driving conditions, xDrive distributes power between the front and rear axles in a fixed ratio of 40:60, but when the driving conditions or the surface of the road changes, the BMW intuitively and instantly redirects power as needed. xDrive can even direct up to 100% of the power to a single axle when needed. When driving on slippery surfaces or steep hills, the xDrive automatically engages so that the driver can start up smoothly, and when parking, the system naturally responds to the "need for high maneuverability at low speed." The system is so intelligent that it can even detect understeering or oversteering and respond by redistributing power. All of this remarkable engineering produces an all-wheel drive system that effortlessly provides exceptional traction and handling in all driving situations, and does so so intuitively that the driver only notices that their BMW is handling the road beautifully.
