Interesting... I'm very new to f30's (just got a 2016 340i xdrive). While I was swapping on the winter set of wheels, I noticed that the front wheels were turning even when the manual transmission was in 1st gear, indicating that the transfer case is disconnected when the car is stopped or parked.

I'm just echoing what E90 xDelete users have said. Theoretically there should be some degree of torque steer anytime the transfer clutch is engaged, even if it's RWD-biased. It's subtle enough on my car that I don't notice it though.

It might be that any small amount of torque steer in the f3* xdrive cars is hidden by the electric power steering column.... |

According to their Facebook page they're now working on an adjustable version of xDrive that's optimized for certain driving surfaces. That's in addition to the ability to switch between xDrive/RWD. Still no release for F-series, though.

I just saw about this! looks like it would be an awesome feature and will make the AWD system customizable similar to their transmission software. the only downside is I feel they are ironing out and adding features to the E series version before they release the F series version. but the post says coming in the next few weeks so maybe we will be getting it in a month or 2! As much as it sucks to wait it just means we will get a more refined feature packed product!

You will be beta-testing at own risk no matter how long you wait for the beta to come out.

No insider knowledge unfortunately. However they recently posted looking for customers to beta test their new custom modes (Sport, Snow,On,Off) for the currently supported cars but still no word on support for F series cars. I'm starting to get the feeling they arent going to have it released by the end of spring as promised.

In fact, they just recently had a 'fire sale' on the auto tranny version of these in U.S. - went for $450 Got one & already had it installed in my 2015 435iX PnP no coding necessary = worx WITH the BMW AWD system @ 30% threshold under where AWD starts 33107555607 BMW M Performance limited-slip diff TYP 188, I=3.15 M Performance Accessories Part 33107555607 was found on the following vehicles: 3' F30 (04/2011 — 07/2015) 3' F31 (08/2011 — 06/2015) 4' F32 (11/2012 — 02/2017) 4' F33 (03/2013 — 02/2017) 4' F36 Gran Coupé (07/2013 — 06/2016) Has been tested by (2) forum members and the auto version diff definitely does NOT fit manual cars - the axles would need to be modified I luv the way the car acts now Having driven RWD BMW's before - the best way to explain it is the car now drives like a RWD but with added grip of AWD. Most noticeable coming out of turns during 'spirited' driving
