BMW offers the new 2020 to lease with either front wheel drive (which it calls sDrive) and on some models 4-wheel drive (which is named xDrive). The 4WD system is not available on the entry level 18i petrol engine, is optional on the 20i petrol engine, and is standard on the 20d diesel. The 25e Hybrid also has 4 wheel drive but that's because the petrol engine drives the front wheel and an electric motor drives the rear wheels, so it's a different system for a similar result.

The extra hardware required to make the car into a true 4x4 does add around 100kg to the weight, so it isn’t quite as fuel efficient, but the trade-off is no wheelspin away from the traffic lights or pulling onto wet roundabouts, plus when it gets snowy, the car will have better traction getting off the line. It's also important to remember that 4WD will only help get you moving in the snow, it will not help you steer or brake any better, for that you need to fit winter tyres or you'll still slide off the road! In fact a front wheel drive car on winter tyres can often perform better in snow than a 4 wheel drive car on the usual summer tyres.
