When you think about sport sedans BMW cars like the 2017 BMW 3 Series likely come to mind. It's not surprising; the automaker essentially invented the category with the original BMW 3 Series model more than four decades ago. It offered a couple of key features: a sporty sedan profile, a sporty engine, and a rear-wheel drive configuration. And now the BMW 3 Series offers an all-wheel drive configuration as well.
The BMW 3 Series features the classic sports sedan rear-wheel drive configuration. This drivetrain configuration offers precise and direct handling because it divides steering and propulsion duties from front to rear: the front wheels steer the vehicle while the rear wheels remain in one position for optimal traction as they grip the pavement. The rear wheels are called contact points which are the points where the power from the engine makes it to the road surface to propel the vehicle.
All-wheel drivetrains double the number of contact points the vehicle makes with the road from two to four. In the case of xDrive All-Wheel Drive available in the BMW 3 Series, the system can shift power to the wheel or wheels that have better traction, front or rear, to help increase grip and control. Models equipped with xDrive All-Wheel Drive continue to maintain the sporty feel and character for which the BMW 3 Series is known as well.
