xDrive Torque distribution display?

emdeuce · 12-10-2014, 05:51 PM

Hey all, I've seen the torque distribution displays on the iDrive during a bmw drive event. I've since purchased an X5 F15 xDrive 35d, however I cannot find where to pull the display. I've looked through "xDrive Status" and all I see is the tilt of the car and compass, but that's it. Is this a feature that comes with a specific package? If anything, I recently learned to code the car so if it is a feature I can turn on, please enlighten me. Thanks!

Only visible if you have Dynamic Handling Package.

Oh wow, I didn't even know that existed! Now I can't wait even more to get my car to see it

Is this connected to the torque vectoring system?

How do you display the torque vectoring on the screen? I didn't see it.

On my '12 X6, it showed a top-view of the car with each wheel highlighted. When you took a corner, you could see the outside wheels get brighter and the inside wheels dim.

Yes, I believe it is.

If you have DHP, it's under Settings-->Vehicle Info-->xDrive. Under there you can see either the xDrive status or Torque Distribution, and you can apply split-screen content to see both at the same time. I checked this out for the first time yesterday and it was interesting for about a minute. Once I saw the system was working, I put it back on my default of map display.

I can't post how to get there right now, but this is how both views look side-by-side:
