Breaking Down The Options
2026 X5 exterior color choices total 16. But the selection process shouldn't be too overwhelming.The number of distinctively different colors is seven. There are five shades of grey, two greens, three blues, two blacks, and two whites. The roster also includes a red and greenish-blue (Blue Ridge Mountain Metallic).
Also, not every paint is available on every trim level. The core X5 models - sDrive40i, xDrive40i, and plug-in hybrid xDrive50e - don't offer Isle of Man Green Metallic, Marina Bay Blue Metallic, and Toronto Red Metallic. Alpine White is their only standard color and the lineup's only non-metallic. The others cost an extra $650, $1,950, or $3,600.
The M60i adds Marina Bay Blue Metallic as one of eight standard colors. Three paints cost extra: Dravit Grey Metallic ($1,950), Tanzanite Blue II Metallic ($1,950), and Frozen Pure Grey Metallic ($3,600).
The top-tier M Competition offers 12 paints. Dravit Grey Metallic is standard. It also adds standard Isle of Man Green Metallic and Toronto Red Metallic paints.
Frozen Pure Grey Metallic remains an extra $3,600.
Exclusive to the M Competition and new this year are Gentian Blue Metallic and Brands Hatch Grey. They cost an extra $5,000, and require special ordering that could extend production time. If you're interested in one of these premium paints, you can custom order it here.
Blue Ridge Mountain Metallic is not available on the M models.
Determining Your Ideal X5 Color
Picking an exterior color is a personal preference sort of thing. But there are still some important factors to keep in mind.Frozen Pure Grey Metallic costs more money for several reasons. First, its availability doesn't meet its demand. It also has a rare matte finish that involves a longer, more expensive, production time. But that results in a stunning, unique, color. The paint is non-reflective and low-gloss.
Dravit Grey Metallic is also specialized and cost more to produce. The paint has a gold undertone. The tint is applied before the grey.
Tanzanite Blue II Metallic, a deep blue paint shade resembling the gemstone, is rare. That's led to the color becoming more desirable and expensive.
And to keep their cool appearances, all X5 premium colors require extra cost maintenance. That includes frequent washing and professional detailing. Also, metallics show scratches and dents more than the non-metallic Alpine White.
But if you want your X5 to really stand out, and feel it's worth the added expense, do it! Otherwise, we suggest going with a more traditional black or white exterior paint.
We also suggest checking out the colors you're considering in person before choosing one. That way, you can see how they look under different lighting conditions.
