All about personal preference. The main reason I decided not to go with xdrive is because sports suspension is very important for me. You should try one with sports suspension and one without - and make a call. Note - an xdrive vehicle without sports sups will feel the same as a non-xdrive without sports sups.

Okay hold on now...you're in Tampa - so unless you plan on moving much much more North, why would you even want xdrive?? especially since you lose a lot of fuel efficiency.

I have an xDrive. I thought it would be more appropriate in Indiana winters. It sits a bit higher and tends to understeer a little when turning very aggressively. Absolute rocket off the line but feels slower than my old RWD E90 when going WOT from a roll at higher speeds.
In sum: I've owned both xDrive and non-xDrive E90s and each have their strengths. xDrive is more practical for me where I live but RWD is more fun. I like being able to break loose the tires from time to time and I'm more comfortable with dealing with/correcting oversteer.
