What do you guys think? Do you think it'll ride smoother or should I wait to get one without a sport package?

a bit more information would be helpful if you want advice. will this be your daily commute vehicle? do you travel over rough or smooth roads most of the time? more highway or city roads? will you frequently be driving with spouse, children, or elderly individuals - if so, what type of ride will they be comfortable with? are you comparing the X3 to any other vehicle - if so, which ones and what did you think of the ride in those?
the sport package is definitely not for you if you're looking for a plush, luxurious ride (check out a Lexus RX instead, from what i hear). if you like to and have the opportunity to safely drive a little faster on fun roads fairly often, the sport package would be great for you. what are you looking for?
