Thanks for sharing...Gotta say, been in the X family for about 6yrs now and I've never needed that switch. Played around with it a couple of times, but never needed it.

I use this button all winter. Truly is a life saver in Ithaca. Lots of hills, snow, etc.

LOL, I did get some strange looks and a couple of "thumbs ups" from passers by. I paused at the top of the hill and turned on the HDC before coming down. Did not feel any different, except for the left front tire locking momentarily at the bottom of the hill when it made contact with the sidewalk. You can actually hear the chirp from the wheel in the video.

A side note to "offroading" with an X...
I always turn traction control off when I'm offroad. For instance, we went to a huge apple orchard a couple weeks ago and it was one where you drive your own vehicle to the trees. So, having traction control on, the truck was getting confused quite easily, especially in some muddier/slicker areas of the driving path. Turning traction control off eliminated the confusion and she performed superbly in the "offroad" conditions. |

Regarding HDC, I've used it several times on my sister's steep hill (X3 and now X5). No sweat to descend a steep snow covered hill. They also show it off at the BMW PC if you do PC delivery, etc.

It's just a lot smoother of a ride when the truck is "allowed" to slip a bit instead of limiting power to wheels because of a little slippage. You know what I mean? I guess it's hard to describe. |
