I'm sure that if you drive like an idiot the xDrive will get you (and others) killed just as easily.
For me though, the xDrive seems like the better choice. I'm using it as my only car, not just a car on the side for some fun on the track. I'm not used to this kind of power (current car is a 163 hp 320d Touring), and I think it will be a lot easier and slightly more safe to drive the xDrive. Yes, I'll lose some of the crazy fun the RWD can deliver, but it will still be an amazing car to drive.
I'm looking at a late April, early May delivery. It will be three very long months
