X Drive a waste of money on 3 & 4 Series?

[Vroomer]

Autocar this week was very dismissive about the benefits of X Drive on a 3 Series, claiming that all it really did was add cost, weight and tax with an increase in fuel consumption. (This presumably would hit values in the more cost-concious secondhand market, adding another negative.)

Thoughts?

Of course an X car with winters trumps everything but suspect no owners will bother with this option?

I have

+1

+another (albeit, ours is a 5 series rather than a 3 or 4).

I didn't think there were 5 Series X cars???
