BMW Winter Test Base - See the cars slide

As winter approaches, all-wheel drive cars become more important than ever. BMW currently offers 21 different models that incorporate BMW xDrive, one of the world's most sophisticated all-wheel-drive systems. Earlier this year, the company also opened a new test center in the town of Arjeplog in northern Sweden, just 56 kilometres south of the Polar Circle. The location offers perfect climatic and logistic conditions for testing vehicle components and new models.

BMW got their 4wd expertise from Land Rover, when they bought the Rover group, in the 1990s. BMW no longer owns Land Rover.

The x-drive is probably a copy of the Audi`s Quattro system.

Agree.... Drive smooth and look ahead.. no big deal..when you get used to it and understand the car dynamics.. Winter teached you a lot about what the car is doing, hence you are aware of Driving rather then being driven as so many are in dry conditions. btw..traction aid help you on ice.a regular non traction control would not get you up a 5-30% gradient(slope)..and individual wheel breaking..can only be done with the traction aids that factors driving speed, steering direction..
