I'd be tempted to ditch the Xdrive and get a nice set of pukka BM alloys with high quality winters for 4-5 months of the year. As is said here, you might not get stuck in the snow with Xdrive but you can't stop or steer or any better. You'll save weight and fuel and have more fun driving it. (IMHO!) I run Vredestein Wintrak Xtremes on my F11 and you really would not know they weren't summer tyres when on dry tarmac. And in the snow they are unstoppable.

AND... you spread the tyre wear over two sets of tyres.

Good choice with the HUD though. I reckon that's a good option.

And Pro Media really is good and not like systems on cheaper vehicles. Plus you get the BMW Assist systems that find you if you've crashed or broken down. Worth it for that alone I think.
