Aug 14, 2009 · The E46 AWD system yields a permanent 62%/38% rear-to-front torque split. It is not the same as the xDrive system found on subsequent models.

Apr 9, 2009 · Here's how the system works: A planetary differential (the transfer case) just aft of the trans-mission splits torque 62 percent to the rear, 38 to the front. This torque split roughly equates to the weight bias of a non xi 3 after the weight shifts rearward under hard acceleration. It also preserves the rear-biased neutral handling we all love.

Dec 19, 2018 · The idea is to retrofit the AWD E46 with the more advanced xDrive transfer case (replace the NV 124 with the ATC 300). I don't know if it would need a different length driveshaft (I haven't measured both t-cases to know the difference.)

Nov 26, 2011 · xdrive basically is a computer controlled center diff allowing 0%-100% torque split front and back. the xi on E46 is not xdrive because it uses an open diff 35/65 front and back split.

The BMW 3 Series (E46) is the fourth generation of the BMW 3 Series range of compact executive cars manufactured by German automaker BMW. Produced from 1997 to 2006, it was the successor to the E36 3 Series, which ceased production in 2000.

Jan 18, 2016 · As of today, BMW has 110 AWD models in its line-up and last year, it hinted that the next-gen M5, M6 and M3 could get the xDrive badge as well.

BMW xDrive is the marketing name for the all-wheel drive system found on various BMW models since 2003. [1] The system uses an electronically actuated clutch-pack differential to vary the torque between the front and rear axles.

Jul 29, 2019 · The Touring’s impressive resumé is also why we selected an E46 330d as our platform to transform into an unlikely track car, whose mission it was to beat an E92 M3 around a lap.

Nov 17, 2011 · Our cars have three open diffs and rely entirely on brake intervention to prevent slippage. The xdrive system in the e90 is capable of shifting power from the rear to the front by way of a clutch mechanism. It's center diff is a type of LSD, though not a …
