Black looks very good but it needs washing every week.
Even regular dust makes a black car look dirty, a white one
is easier to keep clean.

My Ride: e60 545i, build date july '04, saphire metallic black, auburn interior, sports package.
I've always had my bimmers in a black color; a e46 M3 in carbon black, a X5 in black, and my 545i in saphire black. I do prefer the darker colors but they do take some work to keep them looking good. I think the e60 looks good in white. In the future I'm considering a silver color as it looks good and will, like the white color, not show dirt as much or get as hot while sitting in the sun.
