xDrive.

Taking the power to where it is needed the most – a simple idea that the intelligent all-wheel drive system xDrive expertly masters.

Superior dynamics on every surface: xDrive is the optional all-wheel drive system which feeds engine power to both axles of the BMW 3 Series Coupé as the situation requires.

Under normal circumstances, it distributes driver power between the front and rear axles in a 40:60 ratio, and changes this figure variably when the road surface or overall driving conditions change. Acting virtually instantaneously and in a manner so subtle as to be virtually unnoticed by the vehicle's occupants, xDrive can direct up to 100% of drive forces to one axle.

This intelligent system allows the driver to enjoy the vehicle's power and agility to the full because it automatically adapts to the terrain you are driving on. Whether you are on a twisting road, attempting a hill start or tackling slippery surfaces, maximum traction is guaranteed.
