no, no. the suspension will prevent body roll and makes a huge difference. Personally a bmw without the sport package is like buying a car without power windows or AC

Agree 100% on sport package.. Without the sports package, any BMW is not nearly as fun to drive or aggressive looking..

Yes, the sports package is way more fun to drive than without it. But, the only aggressive looking sports package is the 4.8 with the 20s. Otherwise, the models don't look any different for the most part than the non-sport. On the e53, there is a difference in how they look between sport and non-sport (bigger wheels, etc).

And if you want a better X5 than one with sports suspension add the Adapative Drive option, that gets rid of even more body roll!
