Ha ha, I have an M3 and had similar thoughts with my X7 purchase, going back and forth between the two lines.... Ask yourself this, who will drive it more you, or your wife? Does your wife care about which line? And for when you drive it, what do you prefer?

For me, I knew my wife did not really care either way, so after flopping and twitching a bit, I decided to go with the M-Sport. In the end, I preferred the blacked out trim and sportier lines (and how they look similar to my M3). But for me, the final tipping point towards the M-Sport was the steering wheel - the M-Sport wheel is thicker than the Luxury line wheel. While I don't expect the performance of my M3 in the X7, I love the feel of a thicker steering wheel in the X7, just like my M3 (I actually have the M-Performance V2 steering wheel in my M3).
