If drive-off support is activated, the in-

▷
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-
fort by reducing the necessary steering ef-
fort.
BMW xDrive
Principle
BMW xDrive is the all-wheel-drive system of
the vehicle. Concerted action by the BMW
xDrive and other suspension control systems
such as Dynamic Stability Control further opti-
mizes traction and driving dynamics.
▷
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.
Integral Active Steering
Principle
Servotronic
The Integral Active Steering increases the ma-
neuverability of the vehicle and makes a more
direct steering response possible. Driving sta-
bility is also increased at high speeds.
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.
General information
Integral Active Steering combines variable
sport steering with active rear-wheel steering.
The rear-wheel steering acts to increase ma-
neuverability at low speeds by turning the rear
wheels slightly in the opposite direction to the
front wheels.
Setting
The steering force adapts to the drive mode
to convey a firm, sporty feel or a comfortable
steering response.
At higher speeds, the rear wheels are turned
in the same direction as the front wheels. For
instance, this results in a harmonious lane
change.
In critical driving situations, integral active
steering can stabilize the vehicle by automat-
ically steering the rear wheels, for example e.g.
when oversteering.
Variable sport steering
The variable sports steering facilitates direct
and agile handling with little steering effort.
The variable sports steering responds inde-
