IMO even though black is the nicest color I wouldnt get it anymore and white is just plain boring. My wife has a white infiniti and I dont like it. I actually saw the new red color in the show room last night. I think that new red resembles my red blackberry world edition phone LOL. Its the same red thats on the X6. I think it look better on the X5 than X6.

We are driving a white 4.8i until our Monaco 4.8i shows up.

Even my 5 year old has commented that he thinks the white one is ugly.

Go with Black Saph, best BMW color after Jerez Black!!!

My wife got to pick the color so that's how we ended up with Monaco. Personally with kids and dogs and such I would have gone with Space Grey for the low maintenance aspect.

Monaco is going to be a bit of work to keep looking nice.

i have a gray e92, therefore gray is not on my wish list although its hot on e70......
my friend has a white 4.8, the first shot was sick. My dad like it but I feel the car is like an elephant.
I like black, but cant make the shot between "Jet" and "Sapphire". I heard about Jet looks carzy but also needs time to keep it clean. Waht do you guys think?

By the way, Merry Christmas.

Is this jet or sapphire?

I have Space Grey on my 2007 X5. Not exciting, but so dang easy to keep clean. I am thinking about getting the new X5d and I am not sure about color either. Black is very cool, but Jet Black is an absolute bear to keep looking good! I have that on the M3 and remember why I did not like it when I had it on a Z3 back in 97. You can't just wipe it off, real easy to cause fine scratches and if it rains and the sun comes out, waterspots! Guess I am too damn OC so I should stick with light colors. I really like Black Sapphire the best.

I want an Alpine White X5. I'm stuck with Saphire black and it's too much maintenance on an SUV.

I went to the delar today, they have black and white in stock.
I had the chance to compare two colors.......
I was going to place the order with black ex.
However, I couldnt make the decision sice
the white one looks really cool in the showroom.
After comparing 2 colors for 30mins. The black one was finger-printed.
I can image if I park the car outside for 2 hours,
ill need to wash it again before I go clubbing
(I know I can drive my e92, but my friends dont drive stick, therefore I cant enjoy).

Just my opinion
White:
Con: Boring, for fathers with kids or for female drivers.
Pro: easy to take care
Black:
Con: need to wash it almost every day to keep the sick looking.
Pro: looks really f-sick with huge rims

the sales told me to go for the white one because the resale value is better,
I personal believe he was s-ting me.


Black or White?.............white with carbon roof would be awesome........

Please post some pictures when you take delivery.
Love the colour but here in the uk it is imposible to find one in vermillion red. Plenty of X6 but no X5.

Originally I ordered it with black interior but when i saw your X6 I ordered it with the saddle brown. I hope it looks as good as yours. Remeber your X6 is sporty looking with swooping lines while mine is more boxy in the back.

cool,congrats...that color combo is so sexy...my first opinion was also black interior,but its to boring.

i had it in my x3,looks good,but ...enough for me.

hope you also ordred dark bamboo interior trim...that looks and makes much "warmer" interior than aluminium.
