 | The intelligent all-wheel drive system xDrive delivers maximum driving dynamics and traction by distributing engine power between the front and rear axles variably and instantaneously. The central element is an electronically controlled multi-plate clutch which reacts in a split-second to any change in road conditions. This variable power distribution system has a positive influence on the self-steering behaviour of the vehicle equipped with xDrive. In contrast to conventional all-wheel drive systems, xDrive uses the sensors of the Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) system to constantly gather important information about the vehicle's performance. This information is processed immediately, enabling xDrive to ascertain if your vehicle is about to over- or understeer, and it takes corrective action if necessary. |

 | Twice as bright as halogen: new BMWs offer xenon lamps for high and low beam as an option. The clear, penetrating light gives drivers a superior overview of the road in poor light conditions. To prevent the danger of dazzling oncoming drivers, a special projector lens directs the beam down to the road. In addition, the beam angle is automatically adjusted to compensate for the car's current load. |
