It's been done, but I'm not sure if it's AWD anymore. While having AWD is nice in Boise winters, I'd rather have a 6spd manual for the increased gas mileage (gained 4mpg in the 740iL) and cool factor for the other 9 months when it's not snowing...AWD is for people without track experience and/or vehicle control skills  I would just as easily drive my no traction control having M5 to work just as I would taking the X...and I've done it before.
