Same here, M sport suspension deletion, the ride is just right for me as it's still firm enough and handles well yet comfortable when I need it.
I test drove many with the harder suspension so when a perfect one came up with it deleted I was a little concerned but it turned out to be the perfect option for me. 

I do find the M sport suspension hard and have never drove a SE so can't comment however when I do feel the need it amazes me how it handles for a 2 ton vehicle, I came from a modded 335D and a E92 M3 before that so used to hard rides and good handling cars, my friend still has his M3 and has trouble leaving me through the lanes  :-[

Your friend can't drive for toffee then!!!

Admittedly he is not the best driver and I have a racing past as well the 4.0d is remapped, yes the cars are massively different and on a track the M3 would leave the X5 for dust but on our english lanes with their uneven surfaces the M3 is not the most forgiving so you can't drive it 100%, I owned one for 3 years so I do have some knowledge, it the right hands it is superb but average Joe drives with a lot more caution.

I find my M3 very sure footed tbh & in comfort mode on the EDC it even rides well but it can be skitty in sport on the EDC granted, my old Z4M was a handful over country lanes & it would get unbalanced pretty easy but I find the M3 gives you decent confidence...but I accept I am far from a driving god!

Lovely X5 OP  enjoy it.
