No one said xdrive improves handling, however it improves traction which helps in cleaning out if corners, as evidenced by the figure 8 times.

I think xdrive has earned it's due respect. It's not just dead weight, the extra ride height is what's holding the xdrive back and hence the clumsy remarks by MT. However note that this happens at the limit. Very few of us will see those limits.
