Got an artic grey one.
Wished I went for the carbon black. It is OK on sunny days when it is clean. On cloudy days it looks rather dull. And it does not hide dirt at all. The Aluminum Tetragon trim, somehow I cannot focus my eyes on that trim. It feels real weird when looking at it. I would recommend seeing it in person first. I would go for a wood trim or piano black |

Colour is completely subjective. My recommendation is go and see the cars on the lot in person and make up your own mind.
I liked Arctic Grey enough to go for it on my 2nd GO5. It looks a dark grey in the dark (almost dark green), while in low-light like dusk it looks a light-blue, and then in full sunlight it looks blue with a very slight hue of purple on flat surfaces like the hood. It's a fascinating and very UNIQUE metallic colour, I notice people looking at it all the time trying to work it out, I love it - but that's just my taste. |

I have Carbon Black with cognac. Very happy with it. Carbon black is an extraordinary colour - reminds me of the old AMG colour of the 560SEC of the late 80s - slightly blue or dark carbon depending on the light. I was underwhelmed by the Arctic Grey car I saw at the dealer in March - just didn't seem to work on the G05 proportions but everyone will their own view.
I think the cognac and carbon combination is fantastic - wouldn't change it with the carbon black car. |

All these combinations shown here are fantastic!
These are beautiful cars, at the top congruence of quality, performance, price, and design. There is no way of going wrong with any combination of colors, which are, after all, subjective and based on each one tastes and life experiencies

I have the Arctic Grey Metallic with Cognac. I wasn't sure about the AGM before we bought it as the dealer here didn't have any cars in that color on the lot. I really, really, really like it. Grey under some light conditions, blue under others and every once in a while you can see a hint of purple. And it's a rare color. Which I like. The cognac is outstanding as well.

Here you go. I adjusted and viewed it on iPhone. This looks pretty close to how it looks during the day.

As a recognized World authority on taste, I am often called in to adjudicate in matters of some delicacy. I often hear people say something to the effect, “There’s no right or wrong, it’s simply a matter of taste.” I always have a little chuckle when I hear that. Now, I don’t usually do this, but I’ve come to like this particular BMW assemblage, so I will bestow, gratis, mind you, my hard and fast observations:
1) Coffee, and I can’t emphasize this enough, is WITHOUT PEER, amongst the various leather selections (perhaps this is the time to assure this taste-challenged group that the fact that I have a coffee interior has, in no way, compromised my world-famous ability to render pronouncements irrespective of my personal choices) 2) Gray is a nice little color, for sure, but Phytonic Blue is the clear choice among the tasteful crowd. For those Philistines noting that I have Phytonic Blue, please re-read parenthetical sentence above. 3) I would have thought that this would be a given, but apparently,that’s not the case - FINELINE, people, FINELINE BROWN! Classic! Finally and I say this sincerely, there is no need to respond to this post with effusive outbursts of praise. A simple “Thank’s, MadJack for enlightening me as to the correct choices, concerning my X5.” It’s what I do. PS - For those of you who feel obligated to press upon me some sort of financial emolument for my service, please, don’t embarrass me (however, for those who do wish to embarrass me, I do accept PayPal). |

Notwithstanding the majestic contribution of our outstanding taste authority above, Mr Mad Jack…
I am here to say without hesitation that exterior color Black Sapphire Metallic with its elegant and complimentary Cognac leather, is the obvious superior choice!!!!!!!!! Such superior choice is the superlative superior choice for all X5s and all X6s and all other BMW cars sought after by those of magnificent understanding of aesthetics!!!!!!!! As a complete supporting evidence for this fact, in addition to the exclamation points in the previous paragraphs, y’all may see the pictures that I have taken earlier this afternoon of my brand new X6
