Wow, a very similar color selection! My mother didn't like the idea of white, and our current X5 is silver. Space gray was an option, but it seemed that it was very popular with the current E70 and we wanted to be different. My mother proposed Vermillion Red, I proposed Deep Green and my father liked Monaco Blue.

I was just in NYC yesterday looking around for X5's and colors. Black ones do look dirty in the city, but a white one didn't hide the dirt much better. I saw a Vermillion Red X6 drive by, and I thought it looked great and hid the dirt pretty well compared to the other X5's I've seen.
