I would say the M Sport looks happy, and the M5 a little angry, like in "get out of my way". More than anything, to me the M5 front looks a little more German and functionally designed and the M Sport a little more "stylized" and (don't get angry with me) Japanese.

There is something about the bottom edge of the M5 spoiler that makes it seem more functional and less stylish, as in designed to meet technical requirements. The M Sport lower edge seems to be more cosmetic or stylish. Maybe I am reading to much into it, but I am Designer, and may be wired that way.
