So, here's my question. Just how does the BMW Xdrive system work? How is power distributed? 60/40, 70/30, or is it pretty much a RWD car until the front wheels need power?
This may 'splain things for y'alls.

Damn good video. Thanks for the post! May have to watch it a second time, as the guy talks pretty fast with no breaks. Haha. Pretty neat to see the differences spelled out in the video. Never realized the Xdrive could distribute power between front and rear that much.

Haven't had a chance to drive an Xdrive in the snow to compare to the S4 I used to own. The S4 always felt stable and confident in slippery/snowy conditions. I bought my M240 back in early February, but D.C. area really didn't get much more than a dusting after that, so I never got a chance to compare it yet.
