The BMW Individual division is responsible for personalising the company's vehicles beyond what's available from the standard options list. It's now showing off the XM with some of the special exterior colours that are available starting in April 2023. They aren't yet available on the model's online configurator.
BMW Individual Urban Green evokes the olive drab colour that appears on military vehicles. It's a dark shade, and the SUV's black trim accentuates the colour.

BMW Individual Anglesey Green Metallic is a darker shade than Urban Green. It's similar to British racing green, depending on how light hits the body.
BMW Individual Petrol Mica Metallic has a dark blue hue with some green touches that give the colour a teal shade.
BMW Individual Sepia Metallic also has a somewhat blue tone but with grey elements. The result is a shade that's vaguely purple.
The vehicles go through a separate manufacturing process to apply the individual special paint finishes. Workers have to do more manual work to paint these SUVs.
