My wife loves white...not to say that white is a feminine color or anything. Just kidding
Just kidding haha, always amazing how white cars in some minds are a feminine color, maybe because black is considered a masculine color...so opposite side of the spectrum would represent the other gender....either way, chicks dig the white e60..haha

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

IMHO its just a passing trend over here in Germany -- if you had purchased one last year, then I think it would have been pretty unique But lots of people seem to be jumping on the band wagon now and going for white because it has become more acceptable and is still regarded as being something different. I think it looks great in countries with more / stronger sun, but over here the weather just doesn't do alpine white justice.
