Don't forget that BMW also do their version of 4WD xDrive. It is quite a bit different from quattro in that it still has engine quite a bit towards to rear and front wheels close to front. They do not put front diff in the gearbox but a separate front diff and another propshaft going from gearbox (transfer box )to front diff.

This is a picture for E30 325ix but others use similar layout.
