What offroading toys does the X3 have?

I'm a little unsure about what it has/hasn't got. Is it true it has hill descent control but no diff lock? Is it also true that the ride height cannot be raised?

Thanks in advance

It has an alternative to diff lock called ADB-X. HDC is standard and you can't adjust ride height

Ahh thank you. What is ADB-X? How does it work and is it automatic?

It's like torque vectoring control, but by way of the brakes and engine braking rather than just the engine braking, correct?
