What does BMW's xdrive mean?

BMW's xdrive refers to BMW's intelligent all-wheel drive system. More information about the intelligent all-wheel drive system is as follows: 1. The intelligent all-wheel drive system can quickly change the torque distribution between the front and rear axles while the car is moving, thereby providing the driver with more stable driving performance. 2. During driving, if the car experiences understeer where the front wheels are pulled outward in a curve, the intelligent all-wheel drive system will reduce the torque allocated to the front axle and then transfer the car's power to the rear axle. 3. The intelligent all-wheel drive system can work in conjunction with the dynamic stability system to identify wheel slip. When the car experiences slip, the xdrive's diaphragm clutch is locked by the motor, and the motor transmits appropriate power to the wheel with the best grip. At the same time, the slipping wheel is controlled by the braking device to ensure the car's stability.
xDrive is BMW's intelligent all-wheel-drive system. As an experienced driver who has owned cars for many years, I've personally experienced its capabilities. It automatically distributes power between the front and rear wheels based on road conditions. For example, during rainy, snowy, or slippery conditions, it instantly detects wheel slip and allocates more torque to the wheels with better traction, making the drive as stable as a mountain. Compared to regular two-wheel-drive vehicles, it enhances safety and traction, especially when cornering or accelerating, preventing loss of control. I've also noticed that it doesn't consume too much fuel during everyday city driving because it doesn't constantly operate in all-wheel-drive mode—it only engages when necessary. BMW designed this system to balance handling and efficiency, making driving feel confident and assured.
