4x4 vs. AWD

[xx3]

Correct me if I am wrong but isn't 4 wheel drive the same as all wheel drive?

Unless of course if you've fitted extra wheels onto your X... (Then a 6 wheel drive X wouldn't be the same as a 4 wheel drive X).

uhhhhh... ... Are you saying X3 does not have X-Drive? Reading page 50-51 of your manual. Normally the X3 is in AWD unless if you push the DSC button lighting up the 4X4 light which enables 4 wheel drive.

Edit: The X3 does not have a 4X4 switch. It is permanently AWD. It is capable of 4x4 but that is determined by x-drive, not by the push of a button.

No it did not say or mean that the X3 does not have Xdrive.

Maybe by 4x4 you mean that the front and rear wheels are getting exactly 50% of the output..? In that case Xdrive can mediate and do that when it 'feels' like it...
