I have Alpine White and it looks striking, although I don't like this color much, but it blends with E60 very well. Try color matching on BMW website and you see what I meant. Choose different colors and you found that Alpine White is so stand-out.
First, in the front, chrome grill, headlight reflector matches with White. In the back, red reflector and rear lamp match very well with White.
I really love Black Sapphire, but I cannot stay with summer heat, dirt, and minor scatches.

clean and crisp espicially with the the clear/red lights and red reflectors. Luxury, IMO, the car looks wider and sportier with the auburn.

If I were to do it again, I'd do White again with Auburn.
I like that combo.

I saw a blue for the first time a couple of weeks ago. When it drove by, I was like, huh...that's nice.

? Hard to take care? It's actually one of the easiest to care for. Don't let the fact that it's white fool you.

White would be my first or second choice, matter of fact, it was. I first ordered white and then changed to Titanium Silver. My previous 5 was white.

If you ordered white in the UK you would never sell it come time to change. :thumbsdown: However In the US I understand its a popular colour! Play safe and go for Silver, Silver Grey, Black, Blue or dare I say it Titanium Grey. IMHO. Just got back from pub so ignore me - can hardly focus on screen
