M350 Drive/Still needs to be sportier?

Well I drove one tonight. I was quite surprised by the nice ride. Much better than I expected. I would like to see about lowereing the M for a sportier less SUV look. Does anyone have any pictures out there?
The 350 had plenty of power. I don't think I would spring the 8,000 for the 500.....

Other thoughts?

Also most I saw had a MSRP with several options of about $45,000....

What can one be bought for?

I drove both and sprung for the 500. In driving it wasn't so much the extra power, I just thought it had a better feel. The salesman said that the suspension was tuned different on the 500. Also many of the items that are optional on the 350 are standard on the 500.
