i havnt seen any white E60, or in fact E90 in the UK. Over here it tends to be the colour of commercial vehicles and trucks, perhaps this is why.

An interesting story on Yahoo that white cars were the leading seller last year for the first time, something many of us Alpine White lovers have known for years!

Yahoo story on top color sales for cars in 2007
Excellent news! Now you guys can hold the uneviable title of "That Color Everyone Has" for a change. Now my silver is a whole 1% more unique! I'm practically a rebel!

Heck, that's exactly why I did NOT order a white car, even though I really like the color.

You must be right! My last five cars have been: black, white, white, silver, silver. Ack, I got sucked in!

I think AW E60s look awesome. There are some great looking modded AW E60s on this forum as well. But I just can't get away from how mean a black car looks...when it's clean. =)
