There's no answer to this supposed question. Opinion only. 
And you could've picked a meaner looking white E60 for your reference pic.

You pick whichever YOU like, but for me, I prefer the AW. 
Here's a better white one (before I put the winter wheels on it on delivery day):

I think the grass is always greener...I have had 4 silver cars, all in a row, and although I think it's a classy color, it's time to move on to something new next time around. Although I don't typically like white, I have to admit that the E60 looks particularly classy in white. I have found myself checking out the white ones as they drive by. Something I might consider in the future... 
Tuco, Slick looking ride above....love the AW!
Hey, just realized....my 500th post! I am ELITE now!!!
