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!
You are correct, IMHO. Alpine White rocks.

But not if you are in the UK. I recall someone stating on this board many moons ago that only pimps drive a white car on the island

In Europe (especially in the UK) practically no one buys white. I dont think I have seen a white e60 in the flesh. If you buy any car in white, especially a prestige vehicle your just handing a large extra chunk to Mr Depreciation. Its just too damn cold/wet here !!!

I've had a Jet Black M3 which I loved. But caring for a black car exhausted me. I am loving TiAg once again. I think this is the color that emphasizes a car's lines the best. And it is a breeze to care for. I now have two layers of Klasse Sealant Glaze on my 2 week old car and intend to add weekly until I get 6 or so. Then I'll start to layer a wax.

TiAg is my favorite color. I spent 3 years with a Jet Black M3, and while I loved it the care to keep it pristine wore me out. Silver is easy and it really emphasizes a car's lines. I also like all the other colors, but for me silver is the one.

Guess I screwed up that post pretty well. Eleven years of college down the drain.
