Thanks for the helpful reply, Zibawal. I am happy to hear this can be done. Will dealers know how to do this?

I like the Monte Carlo blue color a lot. If I lived in the city, I could easily see myself buying that, although if I lived in the city I'd be driving an M3 so it would be Interlagos Blue.

I live on a dirt road, I drive through 2 herds of cattle to get to the pavement. At any given moment I have in excess of 100 pounds of cow $hit clinging to the underbody (mostly) of my X5, and the rest of the car is covered in dust and dirt. Keeping clean is not in any way possible.

I own a blue truck and it looks much worse most of the time than my X5 does because for the most part the Platinum Bronze color matches the color of the prevailing dust and dirt, so the primary effect of the dust and dirt is to dull the metallic shine. If I had to go with one of the X5 M colors I'd probably do the Silverstone or the Space Gray, but neither will look as good as the Platinum Bronze. Also, there is a lot to be said for keeping the same color when I upgrade to the M as perhaps most of my friends and neighbors will not notice that I bought ANOTHER new BMW! ;-)
