Frozen colours are available in UK - frozen bronze is std indy colour (£2715) and other frozen colours are special order -can be ~£5K (they can add more time to factory order, so may explain why a dealer may be steering you away, especially if you have negotiated deal for particular quarter).

Std xenons are pretty good & intelligent anti-glare works very well.

M-seats are pretty much as per comfort seats in the non-M models (must have IMO).

Harmon Kardon not that good (although would probably work well in non-M F10 with less road noise), also consider Competition Package if going for M.

Driving wise in UK, M5 traction limited in colder months, but great in warmer weather (winter tyre may help).

MPG varies with use - some in stop start conditions approaching single figures, some averaging ~25mpg in what I would consider normal use.

I'm sure at least one UK member went M6GC to F15 M50d - do a search in the X5 section.
