That sounds like a heckuva lotta fun.

I wanna drive an X6 just to see how brilliant it works, even if I don't like the concept behind it. xDrive is already brilliant.........this should be even more fun.
Uhh..no. BMW didn't pioneer this concept with PDC, and neither did SH-AWD. Honda did in the late 80s, early 90s: AWD application. The Prelude SH was the production debut of the concept. Off-throttle function and all..and I know I considering drive one every day.

Go read the SAE articles instead of spitting back marketing info in a magazine that's already in this thread.
