Not true with X-Drive after 2004. Also, not true in my direct experience with this summer with as many as *two* wheels off the ground.
X-Drive will send up to 100% of available power to the wheel(s) in the front *or* the rear it senses has traction.
Now, having said that, I agree with most here: Not an offroad, nor even an *any* road vehicle. The air suspension in my X5 got all hot and bothered (literally) when travelling over some VERY rough/ribbed mountain dirt roads in Colorado this year. I got the SLS error.
Get this though: I reset it, and it happened *again* while running through the twisties on a PAVED US14 through Big Horn National Forrest.
I got the error reset when I returned home and have not had a problem since.
