What's that good for? Well, BMWs with xDrive are great cars, except when it comes to having fun with your car. The steering response is sluggish compared to its RWD counterparts, the power distribution to the front wheels makes the car less eager to turn, and you can get a lot of understeer coming out of a bend.
This behaviour varies from model to model. Although BMW advertises a basic 70/30 rear/front split for xDrive, the actual torque split varies greatly significantly between models and driving situations. Even the same car with a different engine gets a different setup from the transfer case electronics. Some are 70/30, others are more like permanent 50/50. Some are configured to be a little more responsive, others to be safer (and more boring to drive). This versatility of the xDrive system is exactly what we use for xDelete!
OK, but why would I need it anyway? Well, there are many reasons. We started developing this app because of the our experience we had with our 335i xDrive E92, which we used to develop xHP Flashtool. It's a great car to drive every day, but when you push it, it has all the drawbacks often associated with AWD cars, as mentioned above. You also can't just hoon it around , or even have those small, rewarding moments when the tail of a car gets loose coming out of a corner. This applies to wet and dry conditions and, to some extent, snow. With xDrive, the car can understeer or oversteer in winter conditions when you hit the accelerator hard. In RWD mode, it will always do the same, making drifting much more predictable for beginners. It may sound crazy, but it's safer to learn to drift on snow in an RWD car.

xDelete just lets you have two cars in one, and that alone is a good an excellent reason to have it!
