No, I have had 4 of them, 9 cars in my current fleet, haha!

Top notch colour. Really works with the car. The new badges also work well. We have a Verde Ermes and this color looks similar in the photos.

Congrats.

The 50th anniversary M badges were a surprise, my first 2022 X5 M Comp didn't have them and I did not order them on this build, not complaining, they are unique and look awesome

Actually, Cayennes are made in Bratislava, Slovakia.

Not a problem, though. We have a 2021 S and it's great.

Awesome. That green is too good! Enjoy.

Brigitte · 07-23-2022, 08:39 PM

I love that green...it's beautiful

mmp151 · 07-23-2022, 11:48 PM

Love it! Agree with others on more pictures please.

Wow, what a build! Color is awesome in pictures, which probably means that it’s a lot better in person. Enjoy!

Congratulations! Lovely color. I know my next car color.

I came so very close to ordering my M4CxD in Malachite. I left it as Skyscraper for a few reasons. But if I ever own a green car, it will be Malachite for sure. Congrats!

With Euro-Dollar now 1:1, be interesting to know what an X5 M Competition cost in the US
I was at my local dealer last week and they had one. Pricetag: €240.000,-

X5M MSRP is 108,800 and Competition package is $9,300 so $118,100 before other options.

MParallel · 07-24-2022, 04:55 PM

That's €130k or $130k in taxes here, thank you very much!

MParallel · 07-24-2022, 04:57 PM

PS amazing color. Reminds me of the E36 Fern Green.

I saw you in the Bay/Santa Cruz Area a couple of weeks ago. Been telling my wife I wasn't sure if this was paint or wrap. Looks great!

Ayyy that's definitely me! One of my office is at Santa Cruz so I went down there one time with the M2

What a beauty. How long from ordering to your driveway? Just curious.

It took about 5-6 months, much longer then expected. I actually ordered an X7 M50i and got it within 28 days, but the custom color took a lot longer

That is absolutely ridiculous....wow! My wife is from Belgium and she said that is due to insane tax rates on new vehicles.

MParallel · 07-25-2022, 05:48 PM

That's exactly what it is and has always been the case. Before we had the current tax based on emissions, in the old days there was a flat rate tax, literally called "tax on cars and motorbikes" and was a whopping 40% (yes forthy) of the catalog price.

And then sales tax was applied, 17,5% thank you very much.
And they wonder why we have so many old cars on the road...

I am sorry my friend. My wife said she feels your pain. She just became a duel citizen in 2019.
