Man Matt, that is an absolute stunner!! From the color combo, the custom rim design, I even love the beefier tires. Maybe the only I would have done different is get gloss black wheels, but that could be because that's what I'm into at the moment. congrats.

What a beautiful car. How long did the build take?

And now you don't want to drive it on the road. Or park it anywhere.

Every time I see any vehicle in San Marino Blue, I am reminded that $5K is a small price to pay for such a gorgeous color.

Thanks for sharing!

Thanks, from order to pickup about 4-5 months if I remember correctly.

They do individual colors in batches so it's hit or miss on the timing.

Also, could have been faster if we didn't do Performance Center Delivery, which delayed it about a month.

Thanks, I was very close to going with Boston Green but changed to SMB and agree that it's worth every penny of that $5K.

Does anyone know if you can get Isle of Man green on the xDrive40i as an individual option? I would think since the M60i has it as a standard color then the 40i should have the capability?

Damn. Ruined it with the wheels.

No you cannot get Isle of Man Green as an individual color on X5 40i.

This is a fairly accurate reference of available colors:

Very nice color. The wheels aren’t my thing but horses for courses.

Absolutely love the blue and the contrast of the wheels

I just ordered a ‘25 50e in SMB/Tartufo. Been going back and forth on what color to get and this just confirmed it. Amazing!

Wise choice, it's been about 10 months since we picked it up and still marvel at the color.
Peak in the garage every time I pass it.
