BMW changed the springs/struts in EDC equipped X1s from Jan 2016 production, meaning EDC equipped cars are slightly more compliant in the Comfort setting than a standard car, which has spring/damping rates that compromise between Comfort and Sport.
That does seem to mean that you can't just have EDC retrofitted in the hope of improving the ride quality.

Unless the kit includes new struts and springs. In which case it wouldn't be a cheap upgrade.
