Wow you have a serious BMW M SUV collection there. Enjoy all of them. Mind sharing which one is your favorite and why? Side note, I'm also biased to BMW SUV's as I have G05 and G07.

To me no better color then black. Good luck keeping clean. It would drive my wife nuts as I would be washing it at least once a week 😁
Ps: considering the same X5MC next year or maybe MBB

Thanks! Yeah I feel like black on the X5MC just has a real aggressive look, serious presence. MBB is stunning but it does catch a lot of attention (good or bad depending on your perspective).

Not sure it's overkill

Wife drives the X7, I drive the X5MC, my son drives the X3MC. The 2017 X5M will be gone soon now that the 2020 showed up.

All of our dailies are white/black. All of our non-dailies (toy and track cars) are black... it's just how we roll

Idle curiosity - why do any of you want such large cars for a "personal daily"?

We're parents with little kids, need room for them. I tow things (notice the trailer in the right of the picture), kinda hard to tow that with an M3 or M5

X7 is a great family car, X5MC is a great dad daily + tow car. We also live in a snow state so having all wheel drive is a plus.

Black Sapphire suits the X5MC, looks mean!

Really suits the car - I have Carbon Black on my current X5 but have gone Tanzanite II for the X5M - looking at your car I'm having second thoughts!

Nice of you to say... but I think you made an excellent choice. Based on photos I think Tanzanite is my favorite color for the X5M. I just didn't have the patience to wait for it I think it's a beautiful combination of elegant but also sporty and just showy enough.

I do absolutely love Sapphire and I think with the Competition package everything being blacked out it does present the most aggressive look for the X5MC. I've noticed when I put my turn signal on to change lane, other cars are much more likely to let me in than they ever were when I drove a sedan or coupe!

Haha - yes well impatience is a virtue - you already have your car!

I saw Tanzanite on an M3 Competition a few years back and when it came out as a colour for the X5M I went for it. I've never seen it on the X5 yet so am slightly nervous! It did look good on the M3 though.

Sapphire Black is definitely the meanest colour for what is a mean car!

Would any of you Marina Bay Blue colored vehicle owners be willing to snap a pic capturing the caliper and body color in a close up in order for me to get a visual on color contrast...?

I ask because when building my next X6MC on the configurator, I'm really struggling with making a final decision on MBB or tanzanite and I think the severity of the contrasting blues will help me settle on an exterior color.

Thanks in advance!

I was having exactly the same dilemma - but my wife instantly solved that for me - as soon as she saw an MBB car she said no way its way too bright! We will be receiving a Tanzanite Car shortly... Not under the thumb or anything...
