Based on my experience today, I would say the X drive is close to invisible (except for the extra traction during hard acceleration, and of course, for winter traction) until you are driving the car at or close to the limit, and then, yeah, the RWD is going to be the more entertaining drive. Not really surprising assuming what the dealer said is true (that it's heavily biased toward rear wheel drive). I was also expecting (not really sure why) the xdrive's ride to be a bit more stiff, but I can't say I could detect any difference whatsoever.
