First sorry I took so long to answer and thank you a lot for your helpful answers. I ordered my X5 in Phytonic blue at the end two weeks ago now I guess.

Way too much brown shades at the end for me in the Ametrin. It's a shame that without direct lights on it it's not turning black but weird brown.

My X5 went already in production, I went for a 30d as the dealearship had already an allocation in the production line. I had a good discount on it (same as if the car was already in physically in stock) and I was able to pick the options I wanted expect the motor.

Expecting delivery is on the first week of November. I can't wait

The other month I was down at my dealership and they had one and I mentioned it to my sales manager. He said he never noticed the brown so I said we should take a walk out. The sun was on the other side of the X5 so as we were walking towards it he said right away he saw what I meant by it looking like a brown car.

Obviously color choices are a personal thing so my experience, or any one else's, shouldn't really effect how you feel about a color.
Totally sharing your point of view after a lot of research on the internet. Thanks for sharing your experience with this color btw
