That may be so! It is the best the engineers could do considering the design of the BMW X1 that is based on the UKL2 platform. The difference in tyre pressure is irrelevant in this situation and not really relevant here, because as the OP is saying...

and so only the front wheels are driven.

Loss of traction on the front-driven wheels. The rear ones are being dragged along. Tyre pressure on the rears does not affect the slippage the OP is getting on his front driving wheels.
