BMW X-Drive

Looking at an advert for the BMW 320d X-Drive and since its supposedly "intelligent" e.g. it can transfer 100% of engine torque to any wheel now, I wondered if anyone has been able to compare directly to the Evoque? Also comes with free NAV and 5 years free full servicing.

Could this be the end of laughing at BMWs in the snow?

List price starts same as Evoque at 29k.

RE: BMW X-Drive

I think you will find Freelander2 and Evoque may be able to do the same torque transfer in certain conditions when the system senses wheels spinning it will brake them
and transfer drive to any wheel with grip - so nothing new from BMW!

A Pangea Green New Defender 110 First Edition is now sitting on my drive alongside British Racing Green Electric Mini Cooper SE Level 3. After 21 years in my hands my TDI300 90 was handed on to the next custodian on 15 July 2022.
