Its not like I live in the rural hills. I live in the city, suburbs. I always got through the "winters" of M cars with a good set of snows.

You are so right about "perfect German luxury machine".
There are faster, or more luxurious or more nimble... etc... but very few are "total package" as much as F10 RWD is in my opinion.
As for winters with RWD, I honestly don't just "get through the winter", I'm fully embracing it with winter sports, getting to some tricky locations and what not. Yeah, xDrive is better, absolutely no doubt, but RWD with great winter tires would surprise many.
One thing I forgot to mention is that, if you like driving and are attentive driver, these vehicles communicate back to the driver beautifully.
Yes, the steering feel isn't what it used to be with older hydraulic type steering (E90 comes to mind), but any, even slightest potential of rear end sliding is communicated to the driver pretty clearly and early, so that you can counter or back off immediately in order to address it.

And its too pretty to get dirty
Plus the front splitter is like 3" off the ground. So wouldn't get too far |
Great looking and I'm sure just a blast to drive vehicle... enjoy.
