How good is the xDrive system?
Has anyone given the new xDrive system a real test? For Excample in bad snow conditions?
I have ordered this model but have the previous modell now. I have never had any problems with the old system. I am a bit worried about the new front wheel drive based system. if you have any experience with this, please share them:-) I tested the 225 xe active tourer before i desided to get the new x1. The xDrive system on that car was not good at all. |

The Active Tourer started sailing backwards, before it finaly understood that it needed to activate the back wheels. when it did the car made a jump forward before it got grip. it felt like the car was struggeling the rest of the hill. From what i understand It does not realy have four wheel drive. It is a front wheel drive with an electronic motor on the back wheels. Did the same test with my X1 2013 modell and it did the test without problems. I am hoping the new front wheel based xDrive is just as good as the old. |

That's a very good test, I'll be interested to know how the X1 handles it :-)
I'm not going to see snow until Nov. at the earliest. Unless my plan to drive to Nordkapp comes together for July/Aug in the X1. |

Don't forget you need to set the car up for maximum traction in very slippery conditions - this is explained in the manual
