So it appears that there is a shift of an additional 20% to the rear (40:60 being the default split).
I also doubt that the xDrive system in your car was designed to handle the kind of power the 4.4l TTV8 engine puts out!

lol well its on the 335's...and people have tuned 335xi's w/o problems so far.
I think it's cool that the car shifts power to the back wheels in cornering so that it corners more like RWD. Having driven both a 325i and xi, the xi feels very similar to the i. I can notice a small diff on the crispness of turn in, but its not as big as it used to be. Plus once the roads are wet...the real fun begins.
