The AWD system does not work like a 4x4 system with a locking differential...nor does it work like the facelift e53 X5 and all other "X" BMWs that have xDrive:

Minor issue here. Don't want to derail the thread. But I noticed some discrepancies here on the torque split numbers. I had always thought it was 68-32. Then I noticed the first figure in Qsilver7's post said 62-38. So I did a quick google and found that 62-38 had twice as many hits as 68-32. Then I checked my 2001 BMW owner's manual and it says 62-38.
So I figured it was 62-38 and I had just always been wrong (not the first time).
Then I skimmed down to Qsilver7's second figure and it says (in a BMW-looking doc) 68-32.
What?
If anyone has a dimensioned diagram of the NV125 gears the truth should be readable from the ratio of the inner and outer effective diameters of the planetary gears.
Doesn't really matter much, but I'd like to know.
