I'm thinking of this color and would love to see it on another X5 for comparison. Also curious about interior colors with this outside color.

thanks.

I can only provide you some pics of Monaco Blue E70 prototype (taped):

Both are nice ...

I personally prefer Titan Silver and Space Grey.

IMO these two colors fit the car best.

Sorry. No prototype was made in Platinum Bronze.

I doubt we will be able to see Platinum Bronze X5 before December.

It's a nice golden color - you can see it in press photos of facelifted X3.

It is a nice color. My only concern with lighter colors would be the fact that the bumpers aren't body colored. I suppose, this might be subject to revision for future facelift?

IMO lighter colors fit the car better. Dark colors - while giving aggressive front appearance - make the car looking "heavy". Therefore I personally prefer lighter colors.

Body colored parts will come later ... with top-end performance model & aero body kit also for other models.

But if you as me I'll tell you the car looks best with original black body parts.

While X6 will come unicolored.
