In Europe, we don't get the washboard wood interior as standard. Also, the seats are a cloth\ leather combo, not full leather. I find full leather to be too cold in winter and too hot in summer. With the modern line (in UK at least) you also get the extended lighting, sports steering wheel etc. I personally never considered the sports line as I don't want the coloured stripe on the dash or coloured stitching on the seats (though I can understand why some people might like it). Also, it looks sportier, but doesn't go any quicker. If I wanted a sports look I'd wait 'till the proper sporty M comes out.
In the UK, the luxury line is a bit more expensive and has full leather (which I didn't want). Saddle brown is a nice colour, but too much of the interior is black and not enough Saddle brown, so to my eyes it looks a bit patchy.
Choice is good. It would be a bit naff if we all chose the same combos.
