Hey sufu, how 'bout investing ~$25 on the Euro Red Reflectors? It'll make the car stand out.

Well, since you ordered it already, I'll tell you my experience with the past 3 white cars.

1. White is beautiful if you keep it clean. Especially on the e60, white makes the car look muscular.
2. Chips, dirt, tar, very easy to see. So clean your front end often and behind the wheel area.
3. Hard to see scratches unless they are deep.
4. Hard to see dings than darker colors.
5. The "shine" is not a great as the darker colors.

Hence, I didn't get a white or silver or black, or blue, I got silver Grey, which is in between. So far, it's a great maintenance color, that is, lower maintenance than the other colors.

I really do not know what's the best color for a E60, someday black, someday white, silver, grey, blue...

Ladies I do like white, black or something in between, but not grey

Enjoy your nice white ride

White is a great color, mine is Titanium Silver Metalic. Make sure you get your windows tinted, That really finishes up a light colored car.

Assuming you're getting a sport model with Shadowline trim, then black, and only black. If you can get interior aluminum trim, all the better.

Now that I've seen Alpine White, I think that might be the best looking color on the e60.
However, I was torn between Titanium Gray and Monaco Blue for mine - had to go with the blue cause I've wanted it for so long.

EVERYBODY has a black one. Get something different IMHO!
