Question Can we see the torque distribution by xDrive on the iDrive screen ?

The manual says if we press the "BC" button on turn signal liver, shows the torque distribution on each wheel axil.
I tried it y'day with no joy.
Does it come with any option?


Also, not related to this though, does the standard player (not DVD Changer) we get, play DVDs or is it just a CD player ('cus the manual always mentioned it as CD/DVD player)?

DPC (Dynamic Performance Control) is currently only on the X6 (maybe on the X5M?). Hopefully DPC makes it onto the 2011 X5. It drastically improves handling by transferring power not only front/rear, but also left/right (on the rear axle only).

You can see the torque distribution via the idrive. I don't recall where off the top of my head but I have seen it. Might be under the check systems?

I guess that's why I can see it and he can't...I keep forgeting I don't have the same vehicle as everyone else anymore

Note to self - pay attention to what forum the thread is in.
