pmmeke - I was looking at your signature and got all confused, checked your E60Forum gallery and saw your old ride which it refers to - also awesome may I add!
I see you have gone for the complete opposite look, i.e. from all Black to all white (or near enough). Great looking car you have there

Would be good to hear back from you at some stage how you're getting on with the new combo. I think there's quite a few E60 drivers who see cars like yours (especially in Europe where they are not so common) and consider switching to white / light colour combos, but are worried about keeping it clean etc.

Enjoy...

its more for resale values , white cars in the UK tend to be worth less. But , im beginning to think its all a big game and you should just get what you want

Lovely car , i was very close to ordering my E61 in white but with black leather.

i spoke to the bmw sales manager who was at a bmw convention in germany this week. Sales on white bmw cars in europe doubled the last 3 months. So its starting to become a real trend in europe now.

ok you know I am biased about your cars, but I luv this snow white so much, need to see in person.

drop it with HM=H&R sport springs 4-2cm, roof spoiler and M tech splitter and then I would not touch, I know you will put some nice wheels on (no guys before you ask not HM but that is ok) so post the pix

btw for shifter it would match your pedals pmmeke-stick let me know mate

OT. heared mijn vrijnd you cannot leave E's car rest

White is really making a come back - I love the look of the car with the sports bodykit. I might be persuaded to try white for my next car having seen these photo's.

How many white e60s compared to other colours have you actually seen in UK or even Europe?
