Car was sitting under a tree...late afternoon...some crazy shadows...but shot just as I found it. The F85 X5 M wears the Melbourne Red color well. Enjoy. Thanks. PalBay

where in NJ did you see this car? i haven't seen any X5Ms. i was just at a dealer in northern NJ and nothing there yet.... but they did have 7 M3/4s a couple m5s and some M6s

well its not a special "M" color anymore, guess it wasn't for that long as M Sports started using it right away. X4 has it...

I think BMW wanted the "colors" on the M3/4 to be special M colors (Austin Yellow, Sakhir Orange, Baby Blue), would have been nice to see Imola Red (although I guess thats not a special M Color anymore either)

Powerbeast · 03-25-2015, 09:10 PM

Loving it!

r33_RGSport · 03-25-2015, 09:14 PM

Nice color, but it reminds me of an Audi somehow.

JUSTIN335 · 03-25-2015, 09:32 PM

Are the new ones lower?

turbotoy4me · 03-25-2015, 09:36 PM

The color looks amazing on the X5M. Cant's wait to see one.

ORIGIN M. · 03-25-2015, 09:57 PM

I just happen to like the color a lot.

Imagine that.

paddy335 · 03-25-2015, 10:03 PM

That really does look great. I am surprised by how good it looks.

Does it have M5 brakes on it or are they larger?

I too am surprised there was no red offered for the M4, it seems the perfect car and market segment for that colour.

particulardude · 03-25-2015, 10:12 PM

Looks good.

This just overtly confirms I'm going to have to do a special order and request no tint whatsoever on my next vehicle. I can't stand the mismatch from front to back and I'm not interested in matching the back and getting tickets for it.

Amazing color

I think the front bumper seriously need the Fog lights delete bumper?

Wild_Will · 03-26-2015, 02:07 AM

Needs a set of CCB Gold Calipers.

24601 · 03-26-2015, 02:42 AM

looks amazing! congrats! interior pics?

Armen383 · 03-26-2015, 02:44 AM

I hope it looks better in real life, because on the photos... well, to put it mildly - not my cup of tea, at all.

Mani59 · 03-26-2015, 03:20 AM

Metallic Melbourne Red is amazing on any M car

fndrsn · 03-26-2015, 05:22 AM

It looks good great in every color it's offered in!! Love it!

o0fawaz0o · 03-26-2015, 05:36 AM

Best color yet on x5m 👍💪

Well done 👌

Never Convicted · 03-26-2015, 06:21 AM

If a Fire Chief owned it, maybe. Otherwise, it's arrested development.

You're prob right, but in the end I'd rather have a nice standard colour than an ugly exclusive one
