Properly done it can look both aggressive sporty yet luxury. Not "inflating" my own bubble here however i feel a few good examples are crystalworks now with his new wheels, 525 feen (olek), mine, and a few others im most likely forgetting screen names/arent as active.

The 4.8/4.6 already do that in stock form as well, IMO stock form only thing thats missing is spacers from the factory/lower offset wheels.

I think both looks can be accomplished together! as far as interiors go, always preferred the sport wheel rather than the lux one (heated steering) and I love the sport seats, instead of the lux ones (different head rests? and pull out thigh support)
exterior wise, black or white for lux, red or blue for sport (maybe black too!!)

If you want luxury, buy a Mercedes. Bimmers come sporty.

Sport. Our big boy SAVs look like an SUV with tennis shoes. Muscle and style. Not lumbering square boxes.

I voted "sporty". I enjoy driving and having a responsive car makes the driving more fun.

Luxury is an added bonus.

Sport package with as many options as you can find with it - heated, power rears, heated steering, nav, audio, etc. And find one with an original BMW hitch

Definitely sporty. Also, I prefer the comfort of the sport seats over the luxury ones....not to mention the weight difference
