Congrats on the pair.
you're comparing a 5-series that doesn't have a M-sport body kit with an X5 that does.

this is what a M sport looks like: http://f10.5post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=403526

BMWs of the same generation all follow similar design cues. So a X-line or luxury-line X5 should look similar to a standard F10, and M Sports should all have the same designs namely:
1. wider front intakes (also, notice the M Sport intakes are flipped upside down for the actual M cars)
2. flared side skirts
3. straight-down taper of the rear bumper
