BMW India has organized an off-roading event on an obstacle track to showcase the off-roading capabilities of the BMW xDrive all wheel drive systems equipped in its X series SUVs. The BMW Xperience at Gurgaon, National Capital Region from 16 – 23 October 2011 at the specially designed test course. The event was kicked off by a vibrant and captivating performance by Raw BANG – a proficient group of Australian percussionists and tap dancers.

The BMW xDrive is an intelligent all-wheel drive system that monitors the driving situation constantly and distributes drive power smoothly between the axles. BMW xDrive splits drive variably to the front and rear axles to suit the driving situation and the surface. Under normal driving conditions xDrive works with a basic 40/60 torque split front and rear. If there is any sudden change in requirements on account of differences in the friction values between the road surface and the driven wheels or because of the driving situation, the torque split can be varied within a fraction of a second without the driver even becoming aware of the change.
In contrast to other manufacturers, who use all-wheel drive principally to make up for the shortfall in traction suffered by front-wheel-drive vehicles, BMW tunes its xDrive system to provide handling typical of rear-wheel drive. Even in normal situations on the road, all-wheel-drive BMW models send the lion’s share of drive to the rear wheels.

In India, the intelligent BMW xDrive all-wheel drive system is standard in the all-new BMW X3 (X3 xDrive20d, X3 xDrive30d), BMW X5 (X5 xDrive50i, X5 xDrive30d) and BMW X6 (X6 xDrive50i, X6 xDrive30d).
