And probably it will have the longest range if all models have the 80 kWh battery.

Absolutely, RWD models have a place in the lineup. But that doesn’t mean they have to limit AWD to the performance model.

I don't know if x drive is really necessary with modern traction controle and electronics if you don't live in a cold climate or in the mountains.

Based on BMW’s current product lineup, there is huge demand for AWD. AWD is available (or standard) with every engine in every single sedan and SUV they sell in the US. The same is true for some of their competitors. When it comes to premium vehicles, it’s usually not about what is necessary; it’s about what customers desire.
