My question for all the experts here: I drive a 2008 X5 4.8i in the Platinum Bronze Metallic color. I'd like to upgrade to the M, but I am not happy with any of the color choices for 2011 which are the same as for 2010 X5 M (2 black, one white, one red, space gray, silverstone, and monte carlo blue). I'd buy an X5M in a second if I could have it in the Platinum Bronze metallic. Is there any way to get an X5 M painted from the factory in a regular X5 (non M) color such as Platinum Bronze?
I know I could have a body shop repaint my car the color I want, but my perception is that this kills resale value and as I like to upgrade fairly often I really don't want to do that. |
I would recommend getting it from the factory.
You might need a special approval and a 5K charge for it. But it is doable.
More so, I have seen people getting M colors on Reg cars but vice a versa is unusual.
But platinum Bronze is a very nice color though. I saw one MonteCarlo M from the back, and thought X5 M looked great in that color though.
