What Is The Difference Between sDrive and xDrive? Also brief info on RWD FWD AWD and 4WD

[@kylesmith9048]

So what’s the difference between a non-sDrive RWD car (such as my F22 M235i) and an sDrive RWD car (such as the new Z4)?

Thank you for clarifying. I have a X5 xDrive35d 2014 and thinking of buying a new X5 but it’s a sDrive X5. Not sure how the drive will feel like. Will I need traction when going to wine country roads?

Hey, I guess it depends on where you drive. If you live where there is a lot of snow, then Xdrive would be a better option for you. I didn’t mind that It was Rwd, as I drove on normal roads and in the summer time. I think you should test drive both variants and see what you think. :) cheers :)

Thank you. Four wheel drive was first presented in bmw?

[@mattsbeamer]

Thank you also :) BMW did make a 4WD BMW Typ 325 4x4 back in the WW2 era. If you type in BMW Typ 325 4x4 you will see some photos of it )
Have a great day.

If you pleased explain to us what is the different between xdrive and iderive 25 for x4 2024 plssssssss let me know

[@mattsbeamer]

Hey, xdrive means you have awd, and idrive is basically the system which you control on your interior screen. I’d love to have idrive :)

[@omarspost]

Xdrive was the name given to their all wheel drive system.
Sdrive is marketing nonsense for regular 2 wheel drive.
I removed the Sdrive badge off my Z4.
Gat sick of people asking me what is it.
