There is only parity for the M Sport suspension cars like the M340i/xi and the M Sport cars. The AWD base suspension cars will still have loftier suspension since most people buying AWD (esp non M Sport) don't really care about how the car handles.

So the overall height is higher for most AWD cars. Lower ground clearance could be from the transfer case. For sure the suspension is probably tuned to be softer and taller.
