The 330d s drive has breakable traction, not bad traction. The reward and feeling you get when exiting a corner at the grip limit and feeding in the throttle with rear just about breaking away is one that all racing cars/ drivers live for.
Xdrive gives fast a to b progress with less mental strain. While ultimately the s drive will be quicker around a corner, the xdrive will give the average driver more confidence to enter corners at a higher speed, knowing that there will be minimal wheel slip and a larger perceived safety net for if things get slippery.
I'd be equally happy with either, its just two different ways of applying performance.
