THERE ARE MANY GROUNDS FOR CHOOSING xDRIVE. MOST OF THEM SLIPPERY.

With the BMW xDrive all-wheel-drive system, each axle uses its traction to the maximum. Your BMW provides stable acceleration out of bends. If – particularly in adverse conditions – more torque has to be applied to the road, that’s when Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) comes into operation. In addition to improving traction, the system also recognises the first signs of oversteering and understeering. Within a tenth of a second it distributes up to almost 100% of the engine torque to the front or rear axle via the transmission and an electronically controlled multiple-plate clutch before returning to the normal 40:60 distribution ratio.

With this technology, BMW provides an intelligent all-wheel-drive system with all the benefits of rear-wheel-drive: precise handling, optimum cornering and a clear separation between the engine and steering.

Dynamic Performance Control (DPC) in the BMW X6, BMW X6 M and BMW X5 M ensures unique cornering performance.

Thanks to the smooth distribution of torque between the rear wheels, traction and handling improve. This allows you to take bends with greater precision – and accelerate out of them with optimum grip.

The result is precise driving characteristics, regardless of the road conditions. In combination with BMW xDrive, Dynamic Performance Control enhances agility and dynamics on any surface.
