Just make sure they use OEM paint brand. BMW certified body shops carry all BMW stock paints.

FYI, I also just secured a price on the aero kit from Morristown BMW for $890 SHIPPED, and only $54.00 for carpeted floor mats ($130 retail). They are offering free shipping through 9/30. If I place my 4.8 order by tomorrow, I will order the aero kit as well .

I assume that you going to consider the "M Sports" package now instead of the "Aerodynamic Kit"? I know that I'm going to look at the pricing of that when it's available. It will be a lot less hassle to receive the X5 with the "areo add-ons" included.

Until you find out the "M treatment" is just an Aero kit

That will certainly depend on 1) Whether the option is even offered here in the states 2) Price. It looks like it will cost probably $1300 or so to get the aero kit.

Yes, there is the question whether the option will be offered in the U.S. and the PRICE is a big question. I found a couple of links with pictures and I'm not entirely convinced that I like the look anyway... Here's one of those links that has a number of pics:
