And one of the questions we get is “What’s the difference between BMW sDrive vs. xDrive BMW AWD?” Both drivetrain systems deliver terrific performance, but they differ in their power delivery system. Let’s take a look at the key differences between the BMW xDrive and sDrive, and see which one is the right choice for your Marietta travels.
BMW sDrive is a two-wheel drive system. This means that the engine sends power to two out of the four total wheels. For most BMW models, the BMW sDrive system denotes a rear-wheel drive configuration. Rear-wheel drive is typically used for sports cars and other performance-minded vehicles, and you can find it on models like:

In normal driving conditions, the BMW xDrive system sends 40% of its power to the front wheels and 60% to the rear wheels. When the vehicle detects slippery roads or muddy conditions as you drive through Alpharetta, the power redistributes automatically to optimize traction and handling. And while you can add BMW xDrive to any of the models above, you’ll find xDrive standard on the following:
