Having driven over 4,500 kms around Europe...
and just a couple of rounds on a patch of german woods...
my Luxury line 335i performed beautifully....
... and that's even without/never touching the Sport button switch!!
it's unbelievable how compliant the car is, around twisties and ups and downs...!!
I am very impressed, and that's all while lugging around baggages and 3 adults on-board!
All i can recommend, you dont even ne ed to have Sport Suspension to enjoy the thing...
you dont ne ed to have M-Suspension, unless you are a hardcore, and will do tracks, and even then, if you track the car, you probably would n e e d better equipments anyways...
So tell your sister to go with whatever lines she prefers...
it doesn't matter the suspension... she will be satisfied, even with the basic one!
the Sport and M-Sport will only make it harsher,
if that's what she likes...
But i doubts she is more an enthusiast driver than me.
No F30 is a wrong Choice guys... just go buy them blindly!

Only based on my experience of Comfort setting of the 335i Luxury:
You dont really need M adaptive ... (tho i never tried it)

My M-Sport 2011 car has a slightly more jiggly ride than our new F30 Luxury Line (i.e. it transmits more minor road imperfections), but strange as it may sound, the impact harshness on the F30 over bigger road imperfections is much worse. I attribute this in great part to the F30 wheels/tires which are 1" larger in circumference compared with the E9x, which means they're probably heavier.
The F30 standard suspension also allows the car to get tossed around a lot more than the E9x Sport/M-Sport, so that makes the car feel less luxurious than it should in my book.
F30 Sport Line is different of course -- I haven't driven one yet.

I 100% confirm that!! This car (with basic suspension) is made to run round and round a certain 20 kms...
EDIT: i didnt get the original questions until now:
to answer you: Your sister can safely choose to buy the Sport Line,
no fear of the suspension being harsher...
it is not harsher than the Modern or Luxury...
All three lines have the same compliant multipurpose suspension!!
The Sport Line has the advantage of having one more setting : Sport +
That's all, otherwise, they are the same, with no difference...
All three will perform beautifully well...!!!
