doesn’t RWD stand for rear-wheel drive? what do you mean by “opening” it?

EDIT: I just did a cursory search, and it appears what you want to do can only be done by purchasing third-party software which will change the coding on the car to allow you to switch to RWD. you can’t switch from AWD to RWD via factory settings menu |

on the f90 m5 you can do this through MDM settings. you can cycle through 4WD Sport and RWD. Not sure if the same applies to the x5.

Not possible on the X5M or X3M from the factory. I know its possible for the X3M but have no idea what that entails.

Anyways, OP: I saw the same video you're referencing. They probably used a transmission flash tune to enable RWD mode, like on the M5s.

It is for sure possible, I have been in one. Any bmw xdrive can be turned into rwd, either in manual or by code. I have had an e61 xdrive with x delete, turn it into rwd car.
