RB is giving wise counsel. If you are looking for a now 8-10 year old vehicle - especially a small volume seller like a manual X5 - you'll need to get more flexible on color choices, especially if you are budget conscious. I jumped on my sapphire black X5, for which I paid close to blue book retail up in MCurcio's neighborhood, even though I'd prefer a gray or silver; black just shows dirt/waterspots. And they didn't come in 'flat black.' If that's your taste, get the green one painted and be prepared to keep it 'til its time for the salvage yard.
