X5 Xdrive45E - to M or not to M

[lonestarrpm]

Newish to the BMW scene. I've raced E30/E36/E39's, but know little about the street vehicles. Mostly a Porsche family.

Looking to replace our SUV. Had a Cayenne Twin Turbo as my tow vehicle and family hauler for years but engine died and was replaced by F250.
F250 is not big enough interior to haul the dogs/cats/traveling zoo. So in search of a new SUV.
Wife has a Panamera Hybrid, and we like the car and love the hybrid aspects. The X5 Xdrive45E (2021-2023 vintage)

The X5 Xdrive45E (2021-2023 vintage) has caught our attention, but lost in the world of options.
Know that historically the M badge was an upgrade in performance and handling, but does that hold true
for the new SUV Hybrids? Is an M Sport Package worthy of seeking after?

What other options should I be on the look out for?

ty!

"m sport" is not remotely M. It's akin to just buying the badge off eBay.

45e is my favorite X car X5 of course I didn't know they has m sport variant but it's BS. M or not M not pretend M put the $ toward actual useful things

That's what I was getting the feeling. I didn't know if there was some hidden tune, or "internal" upgrades for the 45e "M". Doesn't look like it -

I couldn't even find the 3 stripes of the M --
