335i (x-drive) with coilovers

Goodmorning guys,
So still in search for my 335i, I came across 335i x-drive with all the options i want. I did a good amount of research involving 335i vs 335xi and found out the main downside to xi's are no sports suspensions. My question is how does the 335xi feel with aftermarket coilovers vs 335i w/ sports spring. Does it get rid of the oversteer people talk about? How about the "soft" feel of the steering wheel?

From what I've heard the ride quality is pretty much the same but it eliminates body roll and the understeer tremendously.

I have a XI with coilovers. The handling is night and day compared to the stock spring, which were floaty and unstable feeling at high speeds. Car sits lower than a regular 335i w/sport springs.

Thank you! I feel much better of potentially purchasing a x-drive now
