Already sorted that problem, see page 2, oil pan baffle installed makes huge difference, i also recommend running 10w 40 fully synthetic with easter and Zinc in it (penrite 10 tenths racing oil) helps alot too. Having good rod bearings i.e TRIMETAL racing rod bearings and low friction coatings on these bearings and the piston skirts also help low oil situations but the baffle is the absolutely the only best way to mitigate this issue, i know the xdrive aluminium oil sumps are different designs we don't have xdrive in Aus, just the plastic oil sumps for RWD, so the oil baffle design for the Xdrive sumps may have to vary slightly
