I think there's a couple of factors at play here.

1. If you love the color, you should obviously consider it again. If you were ordering your "dream car" (and the X5M is a pretty spendy car), what color would you get?

2. What about the interior and options of the car that's "on the lot" - is that what you'd get?

3. Factor in the "year end pricing" you'll likely get on the lot version. Is that worth the compromise (if there is one?)

The Monte Carlo blue / silverstone ii car I just got was the *exact* spec I'd have ordered a custom car in (color and everything) save the pointless rear entertainment system. I also got a reasonable deal as the dealer was trying to close out the year, and had had this on their lot for a while.

For me, it's the interior that makes or breaks the car - it's what you spend most time looking at. Personally I think the lighter colors are more "luxurious" feeling, but they're a nightmare to keep clean.... the trims on the X5M are (mostly) unique to it, so that's also a factor of you want to feel "different".
