The e61 in the picture looks awesome. I settled for a silver m sport e61 but really wanted white. Trouble is in the uk buying a white bmw is financial suicide. Maybe BMW should bring out a crystal white metallic option that would really look fantastic.

Why are the tailights black instead of white?

Is there any reason to do this other then for looks? Is it dangerous? I mean can the lights still be seen? Personally not sure if I like it, but on the Alpine White maybe looks OK.

[/quote]White cars are very unpopular in the uk and on a prestige car are almost unsellable so you could loose thousands compared to a popular metallic colour. Its a shame because as i've already said it really does look good in white. I know that in other markets white is still popular, Japan and to a degree in the US from my own observations, but here in the UK white is mainly found on light commercial vehicles hence the phrase "white van man" and of course our friendly law enforcers.
