xDrive
xDrive is the all-wheel-drive system of the ve‐
hicle. The interaction of xDrive and DSC Dy‐
namic Stability Control further optimizes trac‐
tion and driving dynamics. xDrive variably
distributes the driving forces to the front and
rear axles as demanded by the driving situation
and road surface.
Integral Active Steering
Concept
Integral Active Steering is a combination of Ac‐
tive Steering and rear axle steering.
The system varies the steering angle of the
wheels in relation to the steering wheel move‐
ment.
With strong steering movements and low
speeds, e.g., when parking, the wheel angle is
magnified, that is, the steering is more direct.
The rear axle steering acts to increase maneu‐
verability by turning the rear wheels slightly in
a direction opposite to the front wheels.
At higher speeds, the rear wheels are turned in
the same direction as the front wheels.
In critical driving situations, the Integral Active
Steering can stabilize the vehicle through pur‐
poseful steering of the rear wheels before the
driver intervenes, e.g., in case of oversteering.
General information
The system offers several different tunings.
