Having also an audi and infiniti awd cars i feel they feel more planted and sportier than the bmw, which is not what i expected on the f30 xdrive.
i have to say, M235xi is the sportiest x-drive that i have driven, it feels like the Rwd version. i have driven both so i know. m235i is the only bmw x-drive version not to have a higher suspension vs rwd version AFAIK. i am still feeling out the new F30 LCI...the x-drive in the LCI its pretty good feeling, but for sure its not gonna feel like a rwd car. bmw did say they put some changes in suspension based on what they learned from M235i. overall i like my 340xi very much. this is me coming from have driven/tracked/drag raced the following cars in the last few months: Porsche Cayman GTS, Carrera S, Carrera 4 GTS, Macan Turbo, BMW i3, 228i, 228xi, 550gt, 640i, M235i, M3, M5, M6 GC, X5M, ... and a toyota, a kia, a nissan. haha.
