Should I Trade My 2017 2.0T RWD Luxury for a 2017 3.6L AWD Luxury?

Last Spring, I picked up a dealership demo 2017 ATS 8-Speed Auto with 8,000km on it at a price I've yet to see bettered to this day. Now there's an identically equipped Luxury model in the same colour, but with the 3.6L with AWD at a local BMW dealership with 18,000km on it (mine is now at nearly 21,000km). I'm not really interested in AWD, but would potentially (I've yet to drive one) prefer the 3.6L over the 2.0T (currently stock and no plans to tune it). I'm curious to hear your comments and recommendations as to whether I should consider spending an estimated $3,000-$5,000 to upgrade to the 3.6L AWD platform or stick with the 2.0T RWD.
Thoughts?

Yeah, you have to wonder why the car was traded in after such a short period of ownership (18 months or less). My current ATS Luxury has the polished 18" wheels and sunroof upgrades and I've had no issues with the car. While I'd appreciate the HID headlamps and signature lighting, many of the electronic nannies and other gadgets don't really appeal to me, but certainly would be beneficial down the road when I sell the car. I'll ponder it some more and maybe swing by for a test drive over the weekend. The BMW dealer may not be too keen on taking my current ATS in on a trade anyway since it is less well equipped than the one they're anxious to sell...the price was reduced by another $1,000 since yesterday. Thanks for everyone's input!

Did they already quote you a trade-in price? I'd try the car out, and if you really like it and your trade-in price is agreeable have it inspected by a Cadillac dealer. A lot of the extras that Phantom was talking about are what make the car more than just a different CamCord6 to me.
