I was on the fence between xDrive and RWD too... I ended up choosing RWD because my priority was the favorable drivetrain for the 350+ days per year that xDrive offers no advantage, rather than the handful where it does (and as good as xDrive with snow tires is, I have never had an issue with a RWD BMW with snow tires either... in fact, even good all seasons were no problem for me on snow-covered Vermont roads back when I used to ski every weekend.)
As for dry roads, RWD is definitely my preference. Don't get me wrong, I actually really like xDrive - but even the best AWD systems that have a complete rear wheel bias when cornering still inherently create more understeer when pushing the car hard in a turn. With camber plates, I could probably live with that...but the 2 inches of additional ride height on an M Sport and veeeery soft suspension were what really sealed the deal for me.
