Non Sport to M Suspension swap

Is it possible on an E90 with M57(335d) to go from non sport suspension to M suspension? Ię could I go to junk yard where an e90 M3 is and pull all suspension components and put on my 2011 335d. That being said I want to go xdrive or awd with this car too can I do both?

Garage List
M3 isnt awd so front wouldn't work anyways. some rear stuff will work and others will if you swap everything over.

I dont believe the awd ever came with diesel (M57) so that will be very hard without custom parts

Please read this. I got some of the parts from M3s in salvage yard and bought some new.

Get used:
front and rear sway bars
front strut brace (it goes from firewall to both strut towers)
Rear lower camber arms
Buy new:
I say buy new but try to find in JY but might be worn out.
M3 control arm full kit.
Caution: if you put real M3 lower camber arms, you will need M3 specific rear struts.

Why would you ever waste the time/$$$ to convert a RWD 335d to AWD? You enjoy blowing diffs?
