Resale value is based on the original sticker and options so to say he is going to be hurt is meaningless. If it stickered for $44 and is now $33.5 it's already factored in and same with S drive. There is zero need for Xdrive where I live because it doesn't snow and it doesn't even rain in Arizona and besides that's already factored into the sticker and price he's paying. Why does everyone think you need Xdrive? S drive is lighter, faster and better handling. Wrong also on M Sport, it gives you sport seats and all the body changes which look 100% better than stock. The suspension also is not hard, I find the M Sport suspension soft compared to my previous X3 and 3 M3's. So really I don't agree with anything you said.
