Messing Mica 2001 4.4i

I promised pics a while back but was busy replacing Halfshafts and then couldn't possibly post pics of a dirty X.

Anyways, here is a 2001 Messing Mica (Brass Metallic). As far as I know this was an Individual order eventhough I heard that you could not officially get Individual X5s in the US in 2001. I am trying to find out more details as to how this came to be.

Rest of the details:
Sport and Prem
2 Tone Gray, with Comfort Seats
Rear Privacy Screens
Rear Slide Out Tray
DSP Sound


Pics: (Color is really though to capture with my camera, I will try and take some more soon)

Beautiful pics of rare color X5.
Individual X5 has merino leather and maritime trim. Maybe only the color was custom ordered.

Awesome! Looks like a new ride. How many miles on the odometer?

Also admiring the green landscape, looking forward to that up north.

I had a friend at the dealership run the VIN and it shows up as an Individual...

I know in the US the Individual program has always been kinda hush hush and I know for the X5 the offered limited options, but I don't know when it started.

A few things I was wondering:
1. would a 2001 have Clear tail lights and sidemarkers?
2. the kidney inserts on the 2001 are typically what color?

I am still trying to research exactly how or why the car is considered (or not) an Individual...
