It is one!! But nevertheless, also the other competitiors haven't a bad 4WD-system. I mean, only in terms of driving dynamic - and that was ever a disciplin, where BMW is one of the best - the xDrive is a bit more precise then Quattro and 4matic!

| Re: BMW's Xdrive vs Quattro & 4matic i think all 3 of them are good where it matters the most,getting traction in treacherous conditions.But see in the video they keep the E-class further up in the snow when they do the traction test.clever.

| Re: BMW's Xdrive vs Quattro & 4matic Ι watched the video carefully but saw nothing that proves that xDrive is better than quattro.  Also A6 has the older version with Torsen B differential. A4 and A5 have assymetrical quattro with Torsen C.

This movie is made by BMW themselves which makes it a crappy test by default, so don't worry Audi fans

| Re: BMW's Xdrive vs Quattro & 4matic The E-Class is a pre-FL model, so it also has an older 4-Matic, not the one on the S and C-Class right? Anyway...I did not understand a single word in all this Italian.
