You don't get the drama of smoking your (expensive) tires in the dry, but the launch and stability in the wet is more important to me. Very happy with my decision.
That's the reason I'd prefer the x. Although I understand that the s is probably a bit faster on the circuit in the dry, but who really cares? I guess the M135i xdrive is the master of sling shot accelerations irrespective of the wheather conditions, and the fool behind the wheel. Here the s falls short on the x by a long reach.

For me, that's convincing enough to opt for the x, certainly seen the small price difference in Belgium. Congrats with your car, I guess there is no better car on earth to enjoy every single ride!
