I believe he's right, the E60 sports package is an 1/2 or 1 inch lower than non-sports package cars. Will have to dig hard data to confirm though...
Edit:
However, in looking at the dimensions posted in the information section, no height difference is noted for the E60, though it is for the E39. Maybe I'm wrong but I thought a remembered several discussions on this a long time ago like back in 2004 when I bought my car. Oh well, memory must be going...

My Ride: 2009 550i sports, Nav, logic Best E60 yet
2004 545i, sports pkg, logic 7 steptronic, rear shade,orient blue with beige interior, blue tooth enabled Razer Phone. 2004 X5 3.0, sports pkg, stepronic, summer pkg. imola red.
2006 Mini Cooper S, manual, sports, prem pkg, nav and kitchen sink.
I feel the importance of the Sport Package far outways tire life, after all even non runflate high performance tires don't get great milage. I would never buy a BMW without SP, its not just because the car might handle better, its for the ride.
After all folks, Nothing Drives Like a BMW,

I'm having a hard time finding information showing that the ride hight (sport vs. non-sport) is any different on the E60 (regardless of engine). I see it mentioned all over about the E39 but not for the E60 for the exception of the ///M. I could also easily see the difference between my sport E39 and non-sport E39's. The only visible ride height difference I see in the E60 is between the RWD vs AWD. The sport has wider tires that fills out the wheel wells better but not height (as far as I can tell). FWIW, one of the first things I noticed in going from my sport E39 into the sport E60 was how much higher the car felt. Even with the aero kit I can clear curbs better in the sport E60 vs. sport E39. Although the over hang is longer making the approach angle worse (more scrapes on inclines).
