TAKE CONTROL.
FURTHER.
What is it about pure adventure that we  nd
so exhilarating? Whatever your next challenge
may be, the X can help you overcome it.
The power starts with award-winning BMW
TwinPower Turbo engines that incorporate
high-pressure direct fuel injection, Valvetronic
and Double-VANOS – true engineering marvels
and purveyors of peak BMW performance.
A whopping  hp and  lb-ft of torque in
the X xDrivei give you the muscle you need
to climb virtually any hill or carve any turn. Yet
this is not just about pure power. Thanks to
BMW Ef cientDynamics engineering principles,
this engine is also a paradigm of ef ciency and
reduced emissions, so your footprint in the wild
isn’t marked by much more than tire tracks.
The four-cylinder X xDrivei and X sDrivei
propel you in a similarly exciting way. Their
engine produces a dynamic and impressive
 hp and  lb-ft of torque. And it does so
with an incredible amount of zip and ef ciency,
with the help of advanced engine technologies.
Both the X xDrivei and X xDrivei have
an innovative feature in common: xDrive,
BMW’s intelligent all-wheel-drive system
that provides optimized traction in even the
most extreme conditions, and helps keep
the X on course and ready for action. Also
available: the cutting-edge Performance
Control feature, which works in tandem with
the xDrive system to add another level of
responsive, sporty handling. Performance
Control automatically alters engine and
braking parameters during turning maneuvers,
driving the outer wheels faster than the inner
wheels. The net result: dynamic road feel
that’s more reminiscent of a roadster than
an all-wheel-drive vehicle.
On the other hand, not all driving situations
require the massive traction of xDrive. The
X sDrivei delivers crisp rear-wheel-drive
handling with a level of power and torque
that pins you to your seat. You can also add
steering wheel-mounted paddle shifters to
pursue your race-inspired driving dreams.
The X is just as sporting as
you are. Chase after adventure
and you’re sure to fi nd it, from
mountain peaks to muddy
passageways.
