Saw it up close and in person when test driving the other day in the sun. This color is gorgeous. Carbon black was my first choice before seeing this color.

I know the dark blues are popular. I ordered the mineral white and I'm glad I did. I've never had a white car but in the heat here (southern Maryland) I didn't want a dark color. Haven't gotten the car yet. I hope I still like the white in a few years. I have to park outside under trees. |

I can see it better with that photo, thanks!
Yup it has some of that purpley sheen. It is a gorgeous color but I’d still like a brighter and lighter color. But that wouldn’t really fit the bmw Gestalt. I’m lucky they had white. |

Nevertheless I wanted to have something special. I asked for a satin colour “frozen” first but it is not possible at the moment. The factory isn’t equipped for it or doesn’t have the skill set available. I went on to look for something else, something special still and found tanzanite blue that way. It looks super classy on a well equipped car. I took ivory white combo with black accents individual full leather interior to contrast it. |

How's that 45e build coming along? Still can't believe you have the pull to order a car that doesn't exist. I wish I had pockets that deep.

I still find it amazing that the 2020 will still have the same skimpy color choices. No silver or light gray which is incomprehensible. Just Whites - blacks- a dark gray & a bright blue. Pathetic.

For the rest I’ll check for an exhaust line if I can get the standard replaced. Not in options list (for example m performance exhaust line). Have to look for winter setup (wheels) by time the car comes. Same for charging station so I can get it charged at home. Up till this point the x5 45e logo’s cannot be removed (option) from trunk according to dealer. Not sure why but I think/guess it’s related to emergency services (fire department needs to know it’s a hybrid I guess). I plan to black those out in case they are in chrome. Should become a really nice car, looking forward to it. |

I am a Belgian firefighter, and indeed it's VERY useful for us to know if the car is hybrid/electric. In that case we will immediately look for the electronic rescue sheet.

I asked a Belgian BMW engineer but he said it’s allowed to remove the logo’s. The extra cap on the driver side to charge the car gives away it’s a hybrid. Nothing specific for the rest from BMW that indicates it’s a hybrid except for the logo’s (e).

You're the first and only one who has ever said Tanzanite was crap, it is NOT another shade of blue and it is not bright blue. Tanzanite is a beautiful color and would look awesome on an X5. Both are great colors. Actually, MWhte it is a very pretty color, which also looks great on cars too. Best to ya as Im sure you'll have lots of fun with MWhte.

It looks like crap on the configurator, it doesn’t do the colour any justice. I probably wouldn’t even recognise it as being that colour. It would be better to have a rotating 3D model under different lighting conditions to actually get a sense of what a colour may look like. What I do is use Google / Pinterest whatever search engine or image app to look up cars that were build in a specific colour and look at pictures / videos to see what it might look like. It’s not perfect, still not like in reality but it definitely beats the crappy colour preview in the car configurator |

Oh my! Well, thanks to your post (not) I’ve changed my mind. Subaru has a stellar bright turquoise color. Saw a few of them last week. I wish BMW would offer other lighter colors, other than the whites and sandstone. Light yes, beige no. |

It's better to see in person and hear and see images about others opinions who actually have that color. This is the reason why we picked this color because we saw the 2020's line up and didn't like them. We really missed out on Tartufo, but settled for Coffee Merino. I thought you settled for Mineral White? That was our second color of choice, but those go extremely fast! The other problem for me is I see way too many white cars and I just had a hard time blending in with everybody else. IMO, I bet white is close to 65% over all other colors combine, just drive around and take notice at intersections as it is very surprising to see so many white cars, but Mineral White in the X 5 is great.
