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.

WOW! The M5 in White looks SMOKING HOT! What is it about that M5, besides the fact that it is an M5, that makes it look so smoking? Can that little insignia strip on side, close to the front door, by the front hood be put on a 530i? What mods on a white 530i will make it look like that M5? Also, if you had an E60 Alpine White, what Mods would you give it? I am talking about simple mods such as red Euro Reflectors. Red Euro Reflectors were suggested by a poster.
Any comments? Thanks

Smoking!!!!!
That is an M5, correct? That is a CLASSIC LOOK!, Yes, SMOKING!! Is there anyway to make an Alpine White 530i look similar? How do you get that strip on the side, just below the hood, close to the front doors?

Yup those are M5 pics alright.
To make a 530 look close to taht you'll need
1.) wheels
2.) M-Tech Kit
3.) Eisenmann Quad Exhaust or similiar
4.) Yes those side air vents. I guess 2 options. buy the vents and have a body shop cut and retrofit them or but REAL M5 quarter panals.... if thats the case then buy the real M5 front bumper too instead of the M Tech kit.
5.) ///M side mirrors
I think thats about it... am I missing any other exterior look?
I think it'll suit you. You should get one.
Whats that? What you say? Me too??? OK! Make that TWO Alpine White E60 ///M5 then we'll have matching cars!

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.
