If only you could test drive both in a snowstorm (and know to press the DTC button) you'd be sold.
again... good luck with your purchase decision. Audi is fine too.

I'm afraid you have it backwards. Audis old system was similar to what you are talking about but BMWs system has never been like that. unfortunately, compared to Audis quattro the BMW x drive is antiquated. I imagine they will make some changes to 2013 to keep up with S4.
