X Series E83 X3 2.0d (N47) OFFRD
•
Emergency wheel
In series production, all versions are equipped with an emergency wheel (4B x 17 IS18 steel rim with
T135/90 R17 104 M tyre).
The E83 has an emergency wheel tray for the emergency wheel on the floor of the vehicle, under the
luggage compartment. The emergency wheel tray is released and lowered from the luggage compartment.
The emergency wheel tray ha a special service opening. This allows the tyre pressure to be checked from
the outside, without having to lower the emergency wheel tray.
-
Runflat indicator
The E83 is equipped as standard with a runflat indicator (RPA). The RPA monitors the tyre pressure throughout
the journey. The RPA indicates that a tyre has lost a significant amount of pressure relative to the other tyres via
an indicator and warning light any an acoustic signal.
The runflat indicator is integrated in the DSC control unit. By comparing the speed signals for all four wheels, the
system detects differences in rolling circumference at the individual wheels.

xDrive
xDrive is an innovative all-wheel drive system that comprises the Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) system and an
electronically controlled multi-plate clutch in the transfer box.
Drive torque is smoothly distributed between the front and rear axles by an electronically controlled multi-plate
clutch according to requirements (controlled by DSC).
xDrive distributes the drive torque to both axles as required, providing the following benefits:
•
Superb operating stability up to the limits imposed by the laws of physics
•
Optimal forward momentum
•
Excellent traction in all road situations
