Both models come standard with the intelligent BMW xDrive all-wheel-drive system. This is a critical feature for Michigan drivers navigating unpredictable winter weather along I-96 or US-131. The system continuously monitors traction and redistributes power to the wheels with the most grip. The M60i further enhances handling by adding Adaptive M Suspension and M Sport Brakes for sharper cornering dynamics.
