If I hold the DTC button for 5 seconds I can make xdrive do that too....

I don't understand the words, but from the banners it looks like a tyre test.
Not very significant when it comes to Audi vs BMW if they've got different tyres.

This seems more like a tire test then anything, both vehicles transfer the power to all the wheels.

apkraven · 12-12-2011, 04:06 PM

they talk about the difference in xdrive and quattro...

Is this even a surprise to anybody? Audi has been in the all wheel drive business since 1980 (same as BMW), but it came on every single model (almost), whereas BMW always made it an option...

Also, I hope they have the same tires, else this test is irrelevant.

probably doesn't help that the BMW has much smaller tires it looks like.

stupid test, Russian fail?

I still think BMW made a big mistake by not offering the sport suspension for the x drive models. It should at least be included in the 'M Sport' package.
