It's all subjective but I still much prefer the SE because of its side profile. The M Sport, particularly in lighter colours makes the wheels look tiny, like the proportions you get on a bus of wheel to vehicle. The black arches on the SE give the impression the wheels are bigger and the angle of the sculpted lines make it look the whole car is lifted up at the back - difficult to explain.

I do prefer the front of the M Sport and I like the back too although all one colour on the back makes it look narrower, the SE has a wider-looking stance from behind. It's also supposed to be a 4x4 so the parts that get dirty are black for pragmatic reasons. MSport styling makes much more sense on a 3 series. Just my opinion. And all of that said I much prefer the X5 in MSport, particularly white, just not the X3
