Also, make the humongous F31 sunroof optional. That will also save weight and cost.

On the sedan, the difference between AWD and RWD is 31/43 and 32/45 respectively. That's a difference of about $50 per year according to fueleconomy.gov. I'd stay it's statistically insignificant. The wagon's ratings are identical to the xDrive sedan.
If I had the choice I'd probably go with RWD too, just to get proper RWD handling, but I'm amazed that the AWD doesn't have a bigger penalty.
