I have both
There is a synergy to the X5M that makes it seem like a completely different class of vehicle. Bought the X5 M50 for my wife, I really liked it and decided I would have an X5 also but didn't want the same car as her so I got the X5M.
Driving the X5M50 I never thought I would get so much out of the X5M. You can easily try to name the differences like oh its just the seats, exhaust, upper RPM power, etc but in reality it comes together to make a night and day difference and now I feel bored when I drive the M50i although my wife really likes it a lot.
The X5M is definitely not too stiff either, I almost feel like the M50 is too soft and we definitely have some trash roads around here.
If the 30k price difference is not a deal breaker for you, always get the X5M, imo.
