2023年7月15日 · If you live in the Northeast, you'll want the Xdrive, especially with that car. BMW's system runs largely as a RWD most of the time. The transfer case is basically a wet-clutch that can very quickly send some power up-front when needed. The Subaru or Audi have permanent AWD systems that apply power to all 4 wheels all the time.

2022年8月17日 · BMW M240i is currently on my shortlist. Seen a lot of videos and the xDrive is pretty impressive but never had AWD vehicle. Lose 1/4 time going RWD but maybe lose some fun factor with xDrive? I live in S. Florida so I really don't need AWD for weather really. Never had a BMW either so just curious to hear from BMW community how they would go.

2020年3月14日 · tl;dr I was hoping to get your perspectives on why you did or didn’t get xdrive and how it has worked out for you. I’m in the process of ordering my first bmw and I have everything picked out but I’m having difficulty deciding between xdrive or RWD. As the title says, I’m going with a g20 m340i and I’m leaning towards xdrive.

2017年10月12日 · Thr RWD is so much easier to break loose it’s insane. If you wanna turn and burn, RWD is your choice. The xdrive just goes. No funny slips or feeling the rear end try and swing out. I’ve never had the xdrive get stuck but it did pull a bit strangely on some ice last year (compared to my slowbaru). Can’t really go wrong with either.

2014年9月24日 · The BMW AWD is really RWD plus a bit of FWD when you need it. As opposed to something like a Lexus RS350 which is FWD plus a bit of RWD when you need it. So the BMW gives that great RWD handling most of the time. You're wrong. Xdrive is always giving power to all four wheels, not "when it needs it".

xDrive still gives you a rear wheel biased power split, I believe 60% rear / 40% front. You can still have fun with it but the best part is not worrying about spinning tires. Gets you off the line much faster. I personally, would want xDrive if there was a chance of driving in the snow.

Yes the X1 and the Mini countryman share the same platform, but a lot of people are forgetting that BMW owns Mini , and Mini has been known to have sporty driving dynamics. Also with that being said, yes it is 100% true that the X1 is FWD based and the X3 is RWD based. But when you are getting the xDrive (AWD), none of this even matters.

2022年1月18日 · xdrive with performance summer tires will be pretty useless. All season, or even better, winter tires will be really good. I owned 4 generations of xdrive BMWs and I had zero traction issues on snow with stock all season tires (midwest). It worked pretty good on snow covered mountain roads too. So you can get

2022年1月14日 · The xdrive will rip 3.1 0-60 times all day on the street, RWD isn’t even close to that… then you just put it in RWD mode whenever you want. Weight difference is not noticeable for daily driving. My X3M with winter tires performs the same in bad weather as my wife’s Subaru Forester, but it’s way more fun.

2019年5月27日 · So to answer your point, Xdrive as fitted to 320d your looking at is pretty tough, BMW recommend * rated tyres to ensure transmission wind up doesn't occur. Also the car your looking at has a "Square" set up same size front and rear which reduces the chance of rolling radius issues even if non approved tyres are fitted.
