I must disagree there, a XX4 and X5 with the same setup on feel very different. Both cars have the same geometry and nigh on identical weight distribution, yet feel different to drive.
Granted the X5 will have more roll inertia (wide cell spacing) and less polar/pitch inertia (due to the motor and cells being at opposite ends of the car in the XX4), but the main difference in handling IMO is mostly down to all the elastic bands connecting the front and rear wheels in the XX4
