I picked up my 530i M Sport a couple of days ago and in Silver Grey with the sports body kit it looks the dogs nads 
Even though it cost ?2600 more than the equivalent SE model it was worth it in my opinion. For the extra cash the main items you get are -
Anthracite headlining
Interior trim - Silver Aluminium Cube
M Aerodynamic package
M Door entry sill trims
M Sport Multi-Function Steering Wheel
M Sport suspension settings
Sports Seats
Wheels-18-inch M Sports Spoke Alloy Wheel style 135M
De-Chroming, exterior window finisher trim
Apart from the body kit the alloys also look superb. Just compare an SE alloys with the Sport model.
Trade off however is that you do end up with a firmer ride.

I like the front but the rear looks better stock - its those rear reflectors! The M rear bumper needs something to breakup the monotony.

i thought the same thing - but after seeing it in person I would disagree - the rear bumper looks great!
