Seriously.... what tyres do you intend to use? Not summer tyres?

A RWD BMW on winter tyres will be much more secure on the road than a xDrive on summer tyres, even better than an xDrive on all season tyres.

xDrive does not add any stopping power, and very little extra control above a RWD. It is tyres that makes the biggest difference in slippery conditions.
