Only advise to op is do not expect to adjust the height very often. Maybe once for winter and once for summer but even that it is usually not very easy to adjust while on the car and salt from winter make it even worst. Lastly the spring is likely to be shorter vs let say the H&R spring (not adjustable version) so the confort is likely to be a bit worst.
I have HR& spring on my Xdrive and I have no problem in winter and the comfort is really good even after two years having them.

the only KW that's available for the Xdrive are the V3's.
the only issue i have with springs and it's only because i've been on the forums long enough to see members post their issues here are the possibility of shocks leaking after awhile. some members report leaks after getting them installed. some after a couple/few years. some members had issues where their car was a lease and the dealer either will charge them for brand new shocks or were told to have it done before the lease was ending. so i think after seeing all these issues i think it's better to think in the long run what's better for you? and this isn't just here in the F10 platform but across the BMW models. Just a quick search OEM shocks alone for front and rears you're looking well over $1k
