At least these guys are better than the UK guys.
BMW should seriously look into this as it is incorrect and missleading.

Pretty bad to be a guy that believes every little article, instead of reading properly about it.
People embraced the capabilities and the marketing took care in describing the abilities of a such system. Due to peoples perception that is a very capable system, companies start to use the word just to make people feel good. Exactly like the dealership text you pointed at.
Sure, we can go further with part time, full time, automatic and so on... but again they are not the same.
Now, we can go further: keep in mind that even though 4WD and 4x4 are commonly used to indicate the same thing, a 4WD is not necessarily a 4x4. Because a 3 axle truck with six wheels can be a 4WD as well (both rear axles are powered) - which is in fact a 6x4 (six by for - six wheel vehicle powered by four wheels).
Please read about 6x6, or 8x8 military vehicles.
