My Ride: Alpine white 2004 545, cold weather package, premium sound, sport package.
white gives in a way some exclusivity.

Yeah it's true I own a white one and had to look for a dealer who had a white one. Nuthin but the usual colors. If you a guy that likes to have a clean looking car but little time cleaning it white may help. When I mad a hard time choosing between white and black, I asked one of mu buddys opinion. At first she said black even before I finished my sentence. So then we went down to my dealer, and she looked at them, and had a hard time deciding, LOL she was no help. Her fav. color is black for cars. I had my eyes on white before I asked her.I live in L.A. and it gets pretty dusty, but i can hardly see dust on white, or even swirl marks. Every time a white e60 it turns heads even though i have one.hehe Or if resale value is important to you then consider white, beacause its a common color and I guess high in demand. Anyways white is clean and simple, and very elegant.

Hi to all. I have found a few 2004 CPO 530's that are pretty good deals. The best deal is an Alpine White 530. Now, I must admit, I had not considered Alpine White at all, until I saw the deal on this 2005 530i. So, I would like input as to this particular color. As of right now, I have not parted with my money. So, it is the time to ask questions.
What do you think about Alpine White as a color choice? What are the pro's and con's, opinions, likes, dislikes?
Thank you.

E60 + Alpine White ----> Made for each other
Alpine White E60 + Euro Red Reflectors = The best sight on the road

This is obviously a culture thing. In my neck of the woods white car has certain image. I need only 2 words to describe it: "gay hairdresser".
Definitely a no-no for a premium car like E60.

its almost impossible to keep clean, just like black.
In the end, as it has been mentioned, get what you want and you can't go wrong with any color e60!
