5/5 of my last cars have been white. Cant help but drool when I see a black or dark blue E60 around town. Wondering how the white looks. What are your thoughts on color choice with the E60?

That's wide open,
but I'm partial to my color 
doesn't show dirt to quickly but dark enough to show some depth after a good P21S wax job

I have the Jet Black paint with black leather, a pain to keep clean. In my opinion white bimmers just look amazing. I know your last 5 cars were white, but I think you should stick with that. BMW Sauber F1 cars are white, it BMW's color. White really shows off the lines of the car.

Silver Grey is my colur of choice....nearly ordered black on my last two cars but being a fussy bastard (my wife will confirm this to be the case) i just haven't been able to commit to the dark side

As of now I have silver/grey, but my next color will be black. Im starting to dig the black with black wheels combo,
JET BLACK/ BLACK DAKOTA LEATHER/ ANTHRACITE HEADLINER/ BLACK & POLISHED RIMS.
Very mean and nasty looking, but with an understated luxurious elegance.
Yes a bit*h to keep clean but well worth it!
My last 12 cars have been black, and I live in hot South Florida..

If anyone has noticed my poll recently.
I am still 50/50 on the carbon black and alpine white!!
knowing i want the creme beige interior.
In deciding the exterior colour, one must consider the interior colour first and find a match. Both my previous BMWs are silver grey / steel grey, I think the metallic grey is fantastic looking in all lightning conditions, very appealing, classy and teutonic at the same time and fairly easy to care for. The down side is that it does not match well with beige/brown interior , thus going black interior is the other alternative.
