Unfortunately the UKL platform used on the transverse engined 1/2 series, X1/X2 and Mini platforms uses a Haldex V system with no centre differential, so torque can only be varied from close to 100/0% front/rear to 50/50% front/rear, as the Haldex clutch pack only engages the rear drive shaft to a varying degree to channel torque to the rear differential.
