So, the E70 wouldn't be able to transfer power just to one wheel?

2011 X3 seems to be a better system, as shown in the video

IMO, by braking the spinning wheels, you in fact 'transfer power to the 4th wheel'...semantics.

And I agree that video is a manipulation... if the driver feathered the accelerator in te X3 as he did in the others, the car would have sat longer.
