this video goes to show that Xdrive is useless with a good set of winter tires and some proper driver control.

As Ove says, xDrive has its effects elsewhere. On the BMW snow and ice experience day that I did, we saw this in action. There was an M3 with snow tyres, which was used for some hot passenger laps of basically level rally-style track circuit, which the M3 handled well -- as in lots of sideways. But it didn't do so well climbing a simple snow mound, which was a doddle for the xDrives. Nor was it as controllable on a snow covered, ice-based drift circuit, which the big xDrives -- X5M/X6M -- were able to execute perfectly controllable power drifts....not that I can think of any public road where you'd do that!
