Does M Sport Package alter comfort level (with or w/o air suspension)?

I'm looking to purchase an X5, likely with air suspension because of how well it absorbs road imperfections. At the same time, I much prefer the look of the M Sport package over the xline default. However, I'm wondering whether adding M Sport (and its adaptive suspension option) has any affect on: 1) the comfort level in the comfort driving mode on an air suspension model, and 2) the comfort level in comfort mode on standard suspension? My guess is no, but finding examples I can test drive across all these configs for comparison is impossible where I live. So thanks in advance for any help!

If you have air suspension, it will be identical across M sport or X Line.

Adaptive suspension that you can get on M sport models replaces air, so if you get that then you won't have air.

I just ordered an X5 xdrive50e with M sport Pro. The sales person told me that all 50e's come with the air suspension because of the battery weight in the back of the car. I don't want the air suspension, because they ALL leak after not very long, but according to the sales guy that is the only way the 50e's come. Are you sure he is wrong?

thanks

He's not wrong. What I said doesn't contradict that does it?

Maybe I wasn't clear - adaptive M suspension is another suspension system that you can get on M sport cars but not in the 50e, and it is installed instead of air suspension.
