540 xdrive or not

I am looking for a new 540. I have found a few rear wheel drives. I have the 550xdrive and like the control factor. What are the thoughts of just rear wheel drive?

I live in the northeast and would only buy xDrive mainly due to winter driving, but also enjoy it when I push it in corners on dry and wet pavement as well.

I live in Scottsdale AZ and I prefer RWD. I think it may come down to the weather and roads in your area. If you need the additional grip of four wheel drive, then go for the X; if not, I would suggest RWD would save you some bucks, give you better MPG, and be more fun.
