I think it is similar but I doubt it is the same. If memory serves me right, the xDrive on your car can transfer up to 100% of the power to the rear wheels. According to the description Jason posted, the xDrive in the 2010 7series transfers up to 80% of the power to the rear wheels. So it appears that there is a shift of an additional 20% to the rear (40:60 being the default split).

I also doubt that the xDrive system in your car was designed to handle the kind of power the 4.4l TTV8 engine puts out!
