First Photo's-Series Production-F85 X5 M in Melbourne Red Paint

BIMMERPOST
     Featured on BIMMERPOST.com
These are the first Series Production Photo's of the F85 X5 M in Melbourne Red paint...that I have seen to date. There were Melbourne Red Prototypes for both the F85/F86 X5/X6 M's.....but this is the first good to go.... Series Production car I've seen in Melbourne Red. Car was sitting under a tree...late afternoon...some crazy shadows...but shot just as I found it. The F85 X5 M wears the Melbourne Red color well. Enjoy. Thanks. PalBay

Very nice. Didn't think red would look good on such a big vehicle. Is that Sonoma Beige interior?

No beige option, it's Silverstone Leather.

Wow. That does look amazing! For a minute I considered this combination but remembered how many tickets I used to get in an old red car.

Can't believe how great the X5M looks in this color. The X6M I saw in person was in this combination, and it really came to life. I didn't expect the X5M to be able to pull it off this well.

Melbourne Red looks really good. Black grills with black side vents and you have a winner. Chrome vents look awful IMO.

I love red cars, even the X3 and X4 in Melbourne Red look good to me, but the X5 and X6 in Flamenco and Melbourne Red just look strange, its like they are too big to handle red (in person), too much blending with tail lights too, Black trim helps though. I usually don't care for black and white cars but on these big guys I think they are the best choices.

Too much red IMHO... It's just too big to pull off that bright of a red. I would imagine that feeling only intensifies in person.

Love the interior color and the wheels though.

I can't believe they didn't use it on the M3/M4.
