I still don't believe this is true. I think there is marketing speak that it can transfer that much power, but I don't believe it's a fixed ratio. I also find it very hard to believe that a car with much higher sporting target like the M135i wouldn't have the same split if it were true, not to mention the X5M and X6M.
The smaller rear space of the M135i would have been a tough pill to swallow, the X1 is about perfect size wise for us, the smaller 1er would have probably been too much of a compromise, but the lighter weight, rwd and sportier nature would have been very hard to overcome.
