XDrive isn't working correctly.

Hey reaching out to anyone who might have came across this but my 435i is awd, my fronts don’t spin and struggle with the snow. I’m on a staggered set up but reading through xhp it says xDrive is active. Also all the xDrive fuses are good and dont have any drive malf codes.

What are the codes? XDrive doesnt 'not work' and not throw a code. BMW's are code happy. I don't think there's a BMW on the planet that doesnt have SOME type of error code stored. AWD is not the be all end all to driving in the snow. You can still get stuck with AWD, 4wd, and locking differentials.
