I have a 2.0D xdrive 2011. A few things observations.

What wheels, I have 18 inch wheels, ride is firm and handling is good. Go to suspension shop and have them check things. 50 000 km maybe a bit much for dampers etc.

Drive in sport mode, much better drive around the city, don't know if it adapts to driving style, maybe it does with gear changes etc and needs a reset.

Fuel consumption similar to mine, not babied and nearly all city driving etc.

Finally what did you drive before? Did it have M sport package, 2.3D model, sdrive. Go and test drive a new model with the same configuration as your car and see if there is a big difference indicating a problem.

Also check that good quality tires have been used at about 36 psi pressure, I know the run flats are expensive but could give different driving experience, X1 was tuned better for run flats than other bmw cars from what I understand.

Good luck
