Drive train
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 45 other vehicles, including the 2016 BMW M5, 2016 BMW 550i xDrive, 2016 BMW 550i, 2016 BMW 535i xDrive, and 2016 BMW 535i. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The new transfer box (ATC 350: ATC = Active Torque Control) has a spur gear unit for the power transmission, which is advantageous in terms of the installation space.
The classification resistor required up to now is dispensed with. The compensation of the manufacturing tolerances is achieved through an internal classification.
