Luxury line will have the “ default” SE suspension which will offer a comfortable ride
Msport ( option 704) will be 10 mm lower and offer a firmer more sporty ride

Ride height is lower with M Sport suspension, and the ride is more firm than the luxury suspension. Some cars also have DHP (dynamic handling package). This will raise the ride height in the 540 sedans, but not the 550 sedans. It's a pretty rare option to find in a 540 as it was expensive.

If you buy a luxury sedan, and you find it too soft and don't like the ride height, both can be fixed by installing KW v3 coilovers.

Even the M5 is comfortable. Outside of the X3M, I have yet to drive a newer-gen. BMW that doesn't do a good job of maintaining acceptable comfort levels in most situations.

My 540 has the M-Pro suspension. Which I assume is what you are referring to. M-Sport suspension with the CVD dampers and the active roll bars. This package is a night and day difference. I've driven a 530 with the M-Sport and it's a completely different car, ride wise (not counting power or anything). Normal driving it floats like a luxury vehicle, but take a corner or an off ramp at 100kmh you can feel it doing work.
