Auto xDrive on Car Inspection Tests

niknik · 02-03-2011, 04:48 PM

I'm still a few years away from my X1 xDrive first vehicle inspection, but... I'd like to know if anyone has had any experience with it. Especially: how to handle that test where the car is put over some rollers, one axle at a time, to test for braking power.

From what I understand, that could damage the xDrive automatic transmission, no?

If so, is the car exempt from that tests, or how do things work in this scenario?
Anyone knows?

Thanks.
