I was exaggerating but now I had to go look it up and apparently the xdrive makes the 550xi weigh 155lbs more than standard 550i so the actual weight would probably be around 4100-ish without the AWD like the guy above stated, which would have put it in the E60 M5 weight range.
That's pretty significant for handling since it would also improve the front to rear weight distribution. AWD is better for straight line acceleration in low gears or inclement weather though so pros and cons either way.
