I've never seen an AW in person when I ordered my car and I was really nervous about the look of it during that waiting period before the car arrived. But once I saw my car in the dealership, BAMBAMBAM, I love it and I still love it now.

You can always come to one of our meet to see if you like it. I think we have 3 Alpine White here in TO who's also on this forum and we also have a Carbon Black that attend our meet too.

 

Does anyone here find AW exterior with creme beige interior appear too 'pale'?
apart from black, any other options i can see of the interior paired with AW?

 

My last 5 series was an '03 530i sport, alpine white with sand beige interior. The windows were tinted and the car had the BBS wheels supplied in the sport package. That car was beautiful.

When I ordered my '08 535i, I really wanted another alpine white 5 series, but did not feel the e60 looked as good in white as the e39. I ordered sapphire black with creme beige.

I have only recently seen the beauty of the e60 in alpine white, thanks to this forum. I now think that an e60 with alpine white, creme beige, light or dark poplar, or anthracite bamboo would be beautiful. I think the key is to have 32% tint on the glass, and some "bling" in the wheels.

The bottom line, however, is that you will not go wrong either way.

 

The black kills a little my CLS beautiful curve visually,so give the White a try this time !

 

It might be "trendless" if you're driving a Model T, but colors have come a long way since Henry Ford said "you can have a car in any color you want, so long as its black".

Look on ebay....how many white cars do you see for sale in the high end stuff - not many. But black cars are a dime a dozen. If you keep your car immaculate, the market for a pre-owned white car is quite large. I sold my alpine white 740iL in 2 days.

Besides, most design concept teams work with white cars, as it allows them to study the lines of the car with more clarity. The lines of the E60 pop in white.

I'm certainly biased, but even so....its tought to beat a white car.

And whoever said "black cars are a hobby" is right. Too much work...

 

I agree. My present BMW is jet black. While I think it is beautiful, there is no such thing as a clean black car. It is a theoretical concept that does not exist in nature.

Needless to say, black and I need a little time apart. The 535 I have ordered will be another color.

 

And whomever said "white cars are too hard to keep clean" -- never owned a white car...

 

All colour can be trendy and they all whot last long but right now itis not white or black that is the in colour.
It is this 1

 

O there is.
The 1st time when you get the car from the dealer and that will be the only time to

 

I never really liked white until recently and on the new 5's it looks great, this may help you. 08 535i in white.
