Snow and flat roads are no issue.
Going up hills is another story altogether. My driveway is uphill bordered by two stone walls with a 90 degree turn 75% of the way up. Looks great but is a major challenge with a rear wheel drive car. Actually some front wheel cars have failed to make it up my driveway.
I could have done it with studded tires but that has other issues.
Miss the M5 but love the X5M for the reasons you stated. I hope to be back in a M5 with the next generation if it is indeed AWD.
