Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to common questions about torque specifications

What type of drivetrain does the 2017-Present BMW X2 use?

The BMW X2 is available with both front-wheel drive (FWD) and all-wheel drive (AWD) configurations. The FWD models use a transverse engine layout with a single-speed transmission, while the AWD models feature BMW's xDrive system, which dynamically distributes torque between the front and rear axles for optimal traction.

What is the torque capacity of the BMW X2 drivetrain?

The torque capacity varies by engine and drivetrain configuration. For example, the xDrive28i model with the 2.0L turbocharged engine delivers up to 258 lb-ft of torque. The drivetrain is designed to handle this torque efficiently, ensuring smooth power delivery and durability.

How does the xDrive system in the BMW X2 work?

The xDrive system in the BMW X2 is an intelligent all-wheel-drive system that continuously monitors driving conditions and adjusts torque distribution between the front and rear axles. It can send up to 100% of the torque to either axle, depending on traction needs, ensuring stability and performance in various driving conditions.

What maintenance is required for the BMW X2 drivetrain?

Regular maintenance includes checking and replacing the transfer case fluid every 60,000 miles, inspecting the driveshaft and CV joints for wear, and ensuring the differential fluid is changed as per BMW's recommended service intervals. Always use BMW-approved fluids and parts to maintain optimal performance and warranty coverage.

Can the BMW X2 drivetrain handle off-road conditions?

While the BMW X2 is primarily designed for on-road performance, the xDrive AWD system provides enhanced traction on light off-road surfaces, such as gravel or snow. However, it is not intended for heavy off-road use, and aggressive off-roading may void the warranty.
