Whichever one that's in the best condition and has a manual transmission. Black's a bitch to keep clean and swirl free, but it looks so damn good when it is.

black looks like it has overwhelming support but I'll never forget the first time I really "noticed" the e60. I was driving on i80 e into Sacramento - it was around 8pm - raining pretty heavily. The road was scarcely populated and I was in the far right lane. Everyone was driving around 65-70 mph and out of the corner of my eye, I saw a white e60, using the passing lane. It looked like perfection on wheels. It was the most elegant, ambitious looking vehicle I ever saw. When I decided to get one, I looked high and low for a white one but only found 535's or 530's. I instead bought a monaco blue 550 and was very happy with it, and it looked great all the time. Got tons of compliments. But the white e60 was a great car to see move through the rain. I absolutely do not like black wheels so between the two options, I'd choose the black car for that alone. But if you had original wheels, I might choose the white.
