Planning on buying a 330xd e92...question...

likerob · 03-30-2009, 02:06 PM

hey guys...
This might be a dumb question but i'm planning to buy a 330xd e92 and i dunno if you can turn xdrive off. I mostly want to have only 2 wheel drive. I kinda wanna use xdrive when i really need it...like on snow or difficult surfaces.
So those of you who already have xdrive vehicules(please help)...can you turn it off and where from?...pics would help.
I'm planning on ordering mine on Montego Blue with Creme interior...can't wait. I just want to have this figured out.
Thanks a lot and hope it's not a dumb question

well, keep hoping.

Couldn't you have just googled "xDrive" to see an explanation of how it works?

it's mostly RWD anyway. don't be hung up on a few % power going to the front wheel some of the time.

i see you have a 335i xdrive...what do you like more about it compared to a normal 335i? (besides the stability)
