acceleration off the line - The strong suit of xDrive, but only applicable when so slippery RWD looses traction.
cornering - No, never. This is a function solely of tires/friction, and has nothing to do with drivetrain. An RWD on slows outcorners xDrive on all seasons in slippery conditions. Basic physics.
fish tail corrections - Nope, never
lane changes - Nope, never
hilly terrain, inclined roads and steep driveways, getting yourself loose when you're snowed in at the grocery store parking lot - again, only is so slippery RWD looses traction.
