My understanding is that under normal low-torque highway driving conditions, all power is directed to the front wheels. But, the XDrive doesn't depend on slippage to direct power to the rear. If the system senses high torque demand, as in pressing down on the accelerator enough, it will send power rearward. I believe there are many other conditions that will result in the same. I'm sure some people here have greater knowledge about this than I do.
