Check this out. It's slightly older news since the auction is over but it's interesting older news. I especially like the special color, or colour since it's a Canadian thing.
I stumbled across this when searching for some Canadian spec X5 stuff.
"The BMW X5 Hockey Edition was inspired by professional hockey heroes. Among the 23 current drivers are Tie Domi, Mats Sundin, and Eric Lindros. The 23 player-driven vehicles will be presented to the winning bidder by the respective hockey player. Winning bidders will also receive signed BMW hockey memorabilia and can request their vehicle be autographed. The vehicles include unique features designed to appeal to hockey fans and car collectors worldwide. Limited edition identification badges are affixed to each vehicle and a plaque containing the individual number of the limited edition.
