Also when i switch lanes and hit like a dip the car bounces so much that feels like i might lose control sometimes.
Is this because its an xi? Would lowering the ride cure this issue?
Or does this have anythign to do with the RFT's maybe?

Hahah, like you've figured out from everyone else - the run farts are awful and the suspension is poor. Welcome to the E90XI. You'll have to consider changing out the suspension.

If the only solution short of replacing the whole suspension is steering around obstacles, I'm getting a new car.

The XI suspension is short of dangerous for anyone pushing this car around in any spirited fashion. I believe your only choice currently is H&R and KWv3 plus installation.
I cannot tell how disappointed I was when I bought this car. I thought it was broken. It is likely my last BWM for that reason .... I digress.
Since I replaced the suspension with the KWv3, it now behaves normally and has very respectable track capabilities.
