Are you just considering AW all over or with a black roof? I think a gloss black roof would look great in combination with your tints.

Depending on how old you are. To me, black looks much more serious. I have a jet black so I know how difficult it is to keep it clean. But white is more unmature on E60 (not saying it's not great though).
And you can spend $2400 on something better.

One idea for jet black owners. I'm thinking of finding some young boy/student from the neighborhood who will be happy to come and wash my car every now and then (actually very often). For a few bucks in my garage. Zero stress, car always clean.
By the way alpine white is gross in winter too. Brown mud on white is even worse than white dirt on jet black.

I can think of about 10 things off the top of my head that I would rather spend $2400 on.
Black looks amazing. Yes, it is hard to keep clean and impossible to keep clean in the winter, but worth it. I would skip.

Sorry Howi ... I voted no, keep it black. If you decide to wrap it white, don't you have to go to DMV to change the color of the car so that the cops don't get confused as to what color your car really is?

I love Alpine White, I have that, but your car is PIMP as HELL already, keep it like that. Spend money on other stuff. And ya when white gets dirty it looks messy.
