I ask because if I was in your situation, I would get an sDrive with the Ultimate Pac. Get regular black leather and Jet Black paint and you're at about $37k.

I drove my 2014 X1 s28i M Sport in Germany last June during massive rain which you might get in Florida.
I made sure to get summer performance tires which are Pirelli P7 225/45r18 and 255/40r18.
The traction is phenomenal in wet or dry.
If you go to Tire Rack and check replacement tires you'll see tests for performance street tires have better wet traction than even All Season's.
If you plan to north anywhere it gets below 40deg f or snow you'll need All Season's and they'll wear twice as long.
X drive only necessary for snow, etc., but not even necessary if you put winter tires on rear wheel drive car.
