Both are good looking cars. But I feel that the contrast in bumper colours in xLine/Sport/SE compared to body-coloured M Sport makes the car look more rugged and tough. M Sport body panels make it look more streamlined and feminine IMO.

I saw the M Sport at the IAA. Because of the smaller overall size of the car compared to X3 and X5, it looked more like a fat hatchback rather than a small SUV. Still a good looking fat hatchback. But definitely not a sporty looking SUV like X5 M.

xLine doesn't feel like that at all. Black and silver exterior trim camouflage the small size. It all comes down to personal preference in the end. I wanted a small SUV. xLine looks exactly that.
