Certified CenterDriving in unpredictable weather can be stressful, especially when conditions change quickly during your trip. BMW Portland is here to give you peace of mind with vehicles equipped with the intelligent BMW xDrive all-wheel drive (AWD) system. xDrive works behind the scenes to help you maintain traction and control as you navigate through rain, snow, ice, or dry roads around Portland.
xDrive Provides Confidence in Any Condition
Roads get slick fast when rain hits the California coast near Oxnard. BMW xDrive reacts immediately, directing power to the wheels with the most traction. Drivers remain in control whether heading inland, navigating curves, or pushing through the storm.
Fast-acting sensors detect changing road conditions and adjust power distribution in milliseconds to optimize stability when you're headed to Mount Hood for a ski trip and encounter patchy snow and ice on the mountain roads. Drive wheels with the best traction receive the most power to keep you firmly in command.
Intelligent Engineering for All-Weather Performance
The BMW xDrive all-wheel drive (AWD) system employs advanced technology that networks the powertrain, chassis, and brakes to maximize handling and performance as driving conditions evolve, sending all the engine's power to either axle, depending on which wheels have the most grip.
xDrive defaults to a rear-wheel bias for that classic BMW performance feel. In reduced traction, it smoothly transfers torque to wheels that need it most, increasing stability and control in any weather.
