Has anyone retrofitted M Adaptive Suspension on an X-Drive?

I've been told by my dealership it's not possible, however I'm hoping to prove them wrong and get some decent handling on my non-DHP 435i X-Drive.

Edit: The M Performance suspension not Adaptive suspension

M performance is only for non xdrive from what I've read on this forum. Going the route of coilovers will be a more economical route no? Most of the people with DHP would go for springs to take advantage of the adaptive dampers. But if you don't have that, why not go coilovers.

I was sold with KW V1's last week, but I thought I'd give BMW one more chance to steal my money; guess that won't happen.

Having had KW V1's on my last car I would highly recommend them. Also you gain the ability to adjust the height of your car, whereas M perf. suspension is fixed. Both are great setups though.

Is the M performance suspension a direct bolt on? I've been told the KW V1's currently in stock in Lebanon are all fake Chinese suspension kits, so I'm thinking of trying out the M performance suspension in the meantime, until I decide to go forward with the KW.
