Sepang Bronze Metallic
I currently have a X5 M50i in Lime Rock Grey. I really like it, but for my next one (likely the X5 M60i), I’d like something different. Ideally, I’d like to steer clear of the black, white and grey options. I’ve been looking at Sepang Bronze Metallic. I’ve seen a few videos and pictures that look really good, but I’ve never seen the colour in person. The dealerships in my area are extremely unlikely to get something in that colour that I could take a look at. Does anyone have any experience with the colour? Any comments would be appreciated. Thanks very much.

That’s what caught my eye with Sepang Bronze Metallic. It seems to look great in the sunlight. Still, without seeing it in person it’s hard to pull the trigger.

I am with you, I just searched the color and the pics did not do it for me. Let us know how it turns out.

Well, the paint looks good in the video, gotta admit. Outside in the sunshine should look much better since it's metallic.

Dealers only ever order black, gray and white for their lot inventory making it very hard to see other colors before buying. I ordered Ametrin Metallic mostly on faith. SA said he had only seen one in person. Got it and loved it. And it's one of very few X5s with that color.
The Sepang Bronze is beautiful in the videos. If you like it, go for it! You will likely never find one in the wild.

^Agree,and the end of the day, you have to be in "love" with the color or it's a non-starter.

Sepang Bronze was offered on the M coupe/roadster 2006-2008 and also the M5 from that era if you want to search for pics or maybe even a used one in your area. I haven’t seen one in years but remember it was a nice color.

Thank you for posting the pictures. I appreciate it.
It certainly seems as though the paint looks very different depending on the light. I think it looks very sharp in your pictures, albeit much darker than it appears in the video I posted. One of my concerns was whether, in person, it appears either gold or a boring brown (neither of which I’m not a fan of). Could I trouble you to comment on that? |

This was a color on the E60 M5, I believe. I remember seeing a few and wondered who would select it for an M5.... to each their own though. Metallic Poop would be an alternate naming option.
