fort by reducing the necessary steering ef-  
fort.  
The wheel angle is reduced in situations  
that require minor or rapid corrections of  
the direction of travel when driving at higher  
speeds, e.g., swerving quickly or correcting  
for crosswinds. In these cases, the variable  
sports steering increases driving stability  
when moving the steering wheel.  
General information  
BMW xDrive variably distributes the drive  
forces to the front and rear axles as required  
by the driving situation and road conditions.  
Servotronic  
Principle  
Servotronic is a speed-dependent steering  
support.  
The system provides the steering force with  
more support at low speeds than at higher  
ones. This makes it easier to park, for instance,  
and makes steering firmer when driving at  
faster speeds.  
Setting  
The steering force adapts to the drive mode  
to convey a firm, sporty feel or a comfortable  
steering response.  
Variable sport steering  
The variable sports steering facilitates direct  
and agile handling with little steering effort.  
The variable sports steering responds inde-  
pendently of the current speed, varying the  
steering gear ratio in line with the steering an-  
gle.  
In situations that require large movements  
of the steering wheel, e.g., when maneu-  
vering or turning, even minor movements of  
the steering wheel will result in a greater  
wheel steering angle. As a result, the varia-  
ble sports steering increases steering com-
