Easy to compare if a dealership has a sport line and xdrive, modern or luxury with the same size wheels I guess.

The difference in ride height, 10mm or 0.4" is definitely noticeable, if you have seen both suspension types, between sport and non-sport, or between M Sport RWD and M Sport Xdrive.
For lots of folks, this difference in ride height may be of little importance. For others who must drive in snow belts, the raised ride height is an important bonus feature. However, there are some trade-offs for the raised ride height: the handling that will not be as dynamic as with sport suspension, the ride will be softer and the car's stance will be slightly compromised.
It all comes down to: what's most important to you, the purchaser ?
