Any Melbourne Red X5M's on this forum??

I find it strange that I've only see one member here with Melbourne red which is shocking since its such a nice color.

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.

I really like the Melbourne but it screams pull me over....

I'm pretty sure someone on here was talking about ordering a red on red.

I saw TJ's car in person. It looks even better than photo. I really wish I had this color over the DG. MRM looks more like an M.

I'm on the fence with MR. In some pics/videos it looks red (good) while in others it looks a bit orangy red (not good)

I also love the mugello red interior but everyone thinks i'm nuts for even considering a red/red combo.

MRM with Aragon Brown would look best. Silverstone would work as well if you don't have kids. It looks fantastic in person, not Orange at all.

It doesn't look orange at all in person. Looks like fire truck red.

I love Melbourne Red on the F85 X5M! It was my second color choice. I'm surprised also that there aren't more F85s in MR.

Personally I think Melbourne Red with Mugello Red interior might be a bit too much red. I think Silverstone interior would compliment it nicely.

Have to agree. My concern would be that the reds are different, and could clash. It's not like the M6/M3/M4 people who order Sakhir Orange on Sakhir Orange where they are the same color basically.

Melbourne Red looks awesome! I was so close to get it but landed on Donington Grey. You can't go wrong with Melbourne Red. A good friend of mine had an E46 and did red/red. It looked amazing!!! Pictures below.....

I've seen the Melbourne Red w Aragon Brown in person with 4 other friends when down at ///M school. It was a total drool fest. I wish I had the Red. It's sweet. The mugello would be too much imo.

I've seen red on red and it was to die for. It's very loud though. If that's too much, red on Aragon also looks fantastic

I'm waiting to see one in real life. I'm more of a black/white/silver type of person, but the only non-boring color I'd ever choose for my car would be red. The only red SUV I like is the previous generation Cayenne GTS' Carmine Red. I wonder how the X5M MR compares to Carmine Red.

I'm with you. The porsche GTS's red was very nice. For BMW reds I like Imola Red more than Melbourne because its a flat darker shade of red. Melbourne looks orangy in some lighting because i was told it has copper flakes in the paint. Still nice but without seeing one in the flesh i could make a 100K gamble lol
