In the normal 5 forum, someone just posted pics of IOMG on the i5 M60 at a dealer in Canada. It's a sharp color on the 5 series.

Looks sharp. I've got it on my X5M LCI and absolutely love it.

Congrats! IOMG looks great on this, from the other few live examples pictured. I don't think I'll ever understand the peas & carrots combo with green and orange, though, but otherwise, fantastic.

Thanks!
Unfortunately there weren't many options for me to choose from - red would've been my go-to choice but I couldn't stop myself from getting the IOMG again - and red & green do not go with each other so it was either the orange or I change the exterior color.. not a fan of black interior either.

Completely fair. Black is "safe" but boring in this interior for sure, though it looks better with the wood trim option. Tartufo would've been a great match with IOMG, but yeah, like you said, not many options available.

That said, if it's not too late to change, I'd maybe have optioned black calipers instead of red, just to avoid the red+green winter holidays look (unless it's going to be a daily, in which case it'll at least be nice and festive for the end of the year!)

Unfortunately as I was told by my SA the car has already been shipped & en route.. so too late to change anything.
I kind of like the red calipers - bit of a sucker for color contrasts.
Will be sure to share pictures once it arrives.

Red calipers look good on a green car.

Agreed. I got the same combo on my current X5M LCI and it looks great

Wow that is quick. What does the tracker say? What’s the current status it is in? It sounds like you should get your car next month or early November.

Congrats! Nice combo!
