Could be because the Sport/M-Sport give a choice of 19" wheels at purchase time? I'd imagine that reducing the sway is more important with the larger wheels.

The E91 and X1 seem very similar, not only in appearance. But there are, of course, differences - the cars likely sell to a different demographic, and are used differently, and the design will reflect that. I see why BMW offer both.
