On the E83 I wouldn't touch the sport option, I found it very harsh and I think that the standard suspension is already sportier than any sport option on the X5.

I like sport suspensions on vehicles that can benefit from them, my Z4 and 535 with the M Sport both handle better than regular versions. I just figure that if you want to go around corners fast, starting with an X5 platform probably isn't the wisest decision. Going up in tire size for looks is fine, but that doesn't require sport suspension.
