I wanted to gather the forums thoughts, If I'm going to buy winter tires (on their own set of wheels) is it really worth it to drop $2,300 on xDrive or should I get some other options instead?
Also, are allocations specific to drive type or is xDrive treated like any other option?

In my opinion, AWD is much safer. I wouldn't own another car that wasn't AWD. Very happy with my M550i xDrive. I was also very happy with my X6 xDrive before that.
