With that said, how about an X5M? Those came in Monte Carlo Blue and Melbourne Red - not too far off from Estoril and Imola.

I like Melbourne Red a lot, I was even considering ordering the new X3 in that color rather than getting a used X5 and painting it. I might have to run down to Sterling BMW and at least give the X3 a test drive before I decide for sure.
I don't think I'd go with the X5M model, as a previous poster alluded to, some folks seem to have issues with the 4.8 engines. I like the idea of the good old reliable inline 6 cylinder. My E53 3.0 didn't have a huge amount of power but it seems like the '12 model 35i that I drove was a lot better.
