BMW’s xDrive all-wheel-drive system:

a better way to command slippery road conditions.

BMW’s intelligent xDrive all-wheel-drive system

takes all-road traction

to new heights, while maintaining the 5 Series’ legendary agility. On

smooth, dry roads, the 528i xDrive and 535i xDrive have the feel of their

rear-wheel-drive counterparts. But hit a wet uphill curve, for instance,

and even before wheelspin can occur, the xDrive all-wheel-drive system

immediately recognizes any need for a change in power distribution.

Almost instantaneously, xDrive can send more torque to the front axle

in order to achieve optimal stability. Should one wheel on an axle spin

faster than the other, the brakes automatically engage, as needed, to

bring all wheels back in sync. At any given moment, xDrive is working

hard, shifting drive power, reducing over- or understeer, enhancing

agility, and providing the best possible traction.

For details on the availability of standard and optional features, please refer to the Standard equipment | Optional equipment charts at the back of this brochure.

xDrive all-wheel-drive system

By using readings from the Dynamic Stability Control (DSC)

sensors and the gas pedal, BMW’s xDrive all-wheel-drive

system continually monitors the vehicle’s driving condition.

This data is then used to vary power distribution between

the two axles, ensuring agile, neutral and forgiving handling

at all times.

Hill Descent Control (HDC) in the xDrive models helps you drive

down steep hills without having to ride the brake. Simply press

the HDC button and the vehicle’s speed is kept under control

automatically.
