I am pretty much decided to go Sdrive now. i just want to know if 428ixdrive manual is really doin 5,6 from 0 to 100 compared to 5,9 with Sdrive manual, which is also clearly stated on the dealer's data sheet...
Just keep this in mind...

When you see a reported time for an AWD car, the launch has to be kind of aggressive to take advantage of the added traction. If the two cars(RWD and AWD) are launched the same way, with an softer launch, the RWD car will be faster.

So if you are not going to do a semi abusive launch on the street, xDrive will not be faster from a dig.
