I made this chart, it's from 7060 used 2005+ cars in Germany (source: mobile.de), I think it represents the Swedish market quite well too.

Good thinking ipp!! That's a quick and easy way of building up some stats. From my observations I would say it ?s also representative of what you see in Germany.

Interesting...I wish I could recall where I have seen the stat but there is an "official" tracking of vehicle colors and silver has been the hands down most popular for quite a few years now....it's begining to slip a bit - but still is currently the most popular color in US and Europe.

I know that my 'research' isn't very scientific but it gives a good hint about the situation. And I don't know if e.g. Silver Grey is grey or silver..? I believe that black is more common than the rest though, especially with the M-Pack models.

Apparently the Spartenburg facility for the world supply of X5s lists the following as the top 3 colors

1 - Titanium Silver

2 - Alpine White

3 - Black

I found it hard to believe White as #2 , but apparently it is the # 1 color for Asia

Cheers
