BMW X5 is available in 6 colours: Blue Ridge Mountain Metallic, Skyscraper Grey Metallic, Black Sapphire Metallic, Mineral White Metallic, Tanzanite Blue Metallic, Dravit Grey Metallic.

Despite this, BMW itself claims that an alternative still prevails in the form of the xDrive 50e that replaces the pre-facelift xDrive 40e as the new flagship non-M Performance X5 variant.
