I am still undecided on the color I want for my X5, and I drove to the dealership and snapped some pictures of how my X5 will look next to my M4. What do you think it's the best matching pair?

If you ask me I would go for the MBB. Awesome color and I only went for Tanzanite because the 40d is not available in it and 6k was too steep for me for an individual color. Although I start regretting it…

I am worried MBB will be a bit too bold for a daily -this would be my first ever blue car. I am loving the color though.

Go big or go home

I love bright colors and can’t stand the pool of silver, white, grey and black cars out there. But that’s only my taste because the majority seems to like it. I find it dull and am really happy with every colorful car I see (I just love the Hulk from Chicagofan!)!

Manhattan green over cognac on the black 22"s, or Tanzanite blue over cognac

Agree with the MGM with the M-Sport Package, although I prefer the Tartufo. MGM is a little less “bold” than the Tanzanite, but stands out from all the blacks, greys and whites.

I daily MBB and it doesn't seem loud at all. Love the color. My only complaint about it is that it's dark enough that it tries my clean car OCD because I the dirt is visible faster even with the ceramic coating.

MBB for the win

(Said a guy who chose tanzanite, because he chickened out and didn’t go with MBB, and has regrets )

MBB is the only choice here.

Interesting, one of the reasons I was interested in getting this color was because I thought it would not be too bad to keep looking clean. How bad is it?

Well, I suppose compared to your black car it would be a little easier. Here's the way it's going for me...

I've always had lighter colored cars - whites and most recently several of blues - Yas marina blue, Enzian blue and Santorini blue. The lighter it is the less it obviously shows dirt, but, also the less it shows swirls. My desire for an always clean car is greater than my desire for a swirlless car and I'm not going to stand outside in Ohio February handwashing my car. So I've always had an unlimited monthly wash package at one of the local drive through washes. No need to tell me about it being bad for the paint as its an accepted trade off for me to always have a clean car. I've seen 2 MBB cars that have been taken through washes and the swirls are much more evident. So I had this car ceramic coated which has helped it stay a little cleaner and also make hand washing easier, but I now have this mental angst about ever taking it through a wash. We'll see how winter goes...

Looking back at the other color options it would have been either MBB or white and I just got rid of a white X3 wanting something a little more colorful.

I went for BSM with Tartufo, thank you for everyone's input!

My last 3 X5s were MW and AW, I needed to go to the dark side for a change.
