Thanks man! When I first saw this new aero kit (especially the rear and the new sides), I was sold. It had me at hello. LOL! I think the key is Alpine White with this kit though. I think darker colors would cause much of the detail to get lost within the black accents, hence the reason I didn't do Jet Black again. This is actually our first ever white car. It was a big decision, but I think it was a good decision. Probably won't turn heads like the black one did, but that's ok. You gotta change it up from time to time.

Good to know. I wanted natural brown again but BMW ditched it for the F10. I didn't want black (too hot in the summer for me) and I never would spring for ventilated seats for like $2400) and because I don't have my own private garage, maintaining the look of a lighter color leather is too hard. Cin should hide a lot of the dirt/grime and I think it looks great.

)I actually loved black leather and never had issues with them being too hot in the summer, even when they were parked outside for extended periods of time. Do you tint your cars, Scott? I want to say that you don't. It definitely helps and I will say that black definitely hides the dirt better than anything.

I think I've used the ventilated seats in my M 3 times. Hahaha! I used them in the old X twice. It's such a waste and a stupid option.

Yes my 2006 Infiniti M45 and my 1999 Saab 9-5 both had ventilated seats. I found them to be noisy and useless.

My Ride: Alpine White 2006 530Xi (SLD)
Dude, alpine white is a great color! I love how it shows off the muscularity of the hood on the X5! And those wheels are incredible! Love it! 
BTW speaking of brown, I like that havana brown leather they've been offering on some of the cars
