I would recommend the x-drive for Chicago. Slightly more fuel consumption (less than 1 mpg) is offset by better grip (in all weather) but the real advantage is in snow, ice, etc.

I also got a spare set of (19" non BMW) wheels with winter tires as the summer performance tires on the BMW 20" wheels are not tractable when it is really cold
