If you don't mind washing and waxing your car often, go for jet black.

Black looks better IMO, but I would get white. Like ipse d says: "black is not a color; it is a hobby.

My Ride: 06 530 xi Touring, Alpine white, Auburn interior, black headliner, maple trim, auto, logic 7, comfort seats/access.
I bought a 06 wagon in alpine white with auburn interior and a black headliner/ black maple trim. it looks great. the manager of the dealership i bought mine at bought the same thing in a 550....white is the way to go i was going to go with saphire black. jet black will be a nightmare to keep looking good.

You would be suprised how different, unique, rare a 550 looks in white. It shows better, no swirl marks, and more attention. White all the way!
