You disagree that the suspension, namely the springs are compromised on the xdrive?

Seriously?

Jump in any of the xdrive 3 series cars, then try an Sdrive.

BMW are advertised as driving machines.

The xdrive is almost a blancmange on wheels.

If other manufacturers can produce an AWD estate that do not feel like you are driving a 'pudding', then how come BMW can cock up with the xdrive?
