I miss mine sometimes. I have not seen another MR X5M around the Seattle/Bellevue area.

There is a MR F86 that parks near me at work. I’ll snap some pics and post them, it’s a rare combo (X6M and MR).

It is such a nice color yet so little are out in the wild.
I had a Melbourne Red F31 and I received so many compliments on it.
I can't imagine the X5M not receiving the same treatment if not more compliments.

Snapped a few, I know the OP asked about X5M but I figured why not share the love. It’s a beautiful color and vehicle.

Surprising I never got much attention in it. People thought it was an X3 or a normal X5

That is odd. I would suspect it stands out a lot more in MR than other colors.

Anybody here with MR please post up some pics!

Would Mugello red but too much with Melbourne? The way I see it there is really not many instances where someone would see both the interior and the exterior of the car at the same time.
Absolutely loved be my MR X5M!!!
The best looking red that has come from any car manufacturer!!!

Since making this thread I went with the "safe" route with Mineral White. I think if i were to do it over again i would have done MR just to be different even though I still do think this shade of red is a tad too orangy for my taste. I'm more a Imola Red type person.

In the last 2 years I've only seen maybe 2-3 MR X5/X6M's around. The funny thing is Mineral white is actually rare on the X5M (super popular on the F15s though). 95% of the X5/X6M's on the road are either DG or CB. More black.

funny you say that i had an imolrotII M3 and melbourne red f31 at the same time a while back and felt the exact same way. the MR was not real red kind of like how the mugello red interior isn't a deep true red either.

I wish I had the nerve, I do like this red. I just chickened out and changed my order for LBB to DG. I just go back and forth between black and some shade of grey.

One more Melbourne red here as of yesterday in southern MA. This made its way from South Carolina up to me over the past week. There was only 2 on the entire East Coast with the color/other options I wanted so I was happy to get it!

The dealer added front tint, door edge guards, and wheel locks before I expressed interest. The 35% tint will come off replaced with 20% to match rears. I had them put on the black grille/fender trim. Nothing too crazy planned beyond that aside from H&R VTF about 1.2" front/back at some point relatively soon, xpel protection on flares/lower doors/rockers and ceramic coating. Going to run square 20" setup 275 Pirelli winter on my satin black powder coat AG M610 wheels in the winter months. Hoping to see some of you local guys around at a meet or on the road!
