Technically, I agree that should be true. In practice, given on-road driving in snow and ice, I have found the x-drive to be not that different than my pre x-drive X5. It is better, but not by as much as I would have expected. We are generally on flat surfaces. I think on uneven surfaces, particularly off-road, there would be much more difference.
