xDrive vs. sDrive in Florida?

South Florida, no off road, no towing..... any opinions on rear wheel versus all wheel?

All of my prior X5s had all wheel.

I’m going with XDrive all wheel drive in my order. Lots of heavy rains in the summer months here in the Tampa area. It’s just safer. Good luck with your choice.

Likewise, I've ordered a 2020 XDrive. I'm central Florida and we get driving rainstorm every few days, it seems. I want whatever extra control I can get

Hi Hogan,
I will be shopping for an X5 soon and wonder if you could share who your dealer was, how much % below MSRP you got? I am in St Pete, but intend shopping to all the dealers around the Tampa area. Thanks.

Thanks for the info. That’s a great discount. Was yours a 2019 or 2020? If a 2019 I wonder what she will give me on a 2020? Did you also have a trade? Thanks again and good luck with your G05.

I'm in Tampa and about to pull the trigger on an X5 too, I'd be curious to know if that was an on lot or order too.

I orderd S Drive no need in Florida and 95% of my drives. I waited for the 2020 S after reading the May build sheets

Yes X is obviously better for wet and snow but I want the true BMW rear wheel drive feel and yes it will drift on hard turns Plus I saved 2K !
In addition better gas mileage, less weight, mechanically simpler and hoping for a nicer ride and 0 to 60 times.

I'm in Tampa as well and went with the Xdrive. This rainy season has been crazy and it has kept me out of a few close calls.
