It seem like the stock 335i xDrive suspension is less than ideal.

I get this sensation that the car is leaning too much during turns. It doesn't help that xDrive e90s ride higher than non xDrive models.

One thing I don't want to do is make the ride harsh. I prefer my fillings in my teeth.

Any ideas on how to improve the handling ?

Bilstein B8 or Koni Yellow struts/shocks
Eibach Pro-kit or Dinan springs if you want to lower it a bit.

how much does this lower the car from stock xdrive height? what springs/shocks would work on my xdrive if i just want a mild drop?

Dinan will lower your less than .5"
Eibachs about 1", a little more in front.
Both are considered mild drops.

A cool package would include Dinan springs, (koni yellow or billy) struts/shocks, with dinan camber plates and otherwise stock hardware -- where the front is assembled and shipped so the DIYr doesn't even have to mess with spring compressors!!!

We've done this exact kit... we even install the Dinan camber kit for you for no charge.

That's fantastic; only wish I knew last year!
