I do not understand how the Alpine White does not dust....and YES..the Rear of the car gets dirty even after a short drive. Driving the car in the rain (even light rain), the rear of the car looks like I went off roading. As blue dragon said, the rear has crazy low pressure and is very turbulent.
I LOVE the look of my Alpine White, it's my favourite colour on the E70...but if I get another X5 when the new model comes out....I think I will get Platinum Gray, Titanium Silver or I really hope Breakwater Blue Metallic is finally offered on the X5. Breakwater Blue is, IMO, THE BEST colour BMW has ever made!!

i had a titanium silver e39 before hand and I could get away with washing the car once every 2 months and even then it would still look clean..i even went 6-8 months without washing the car once and it still looked decent..
the x5 I have in the exact same colour, and every week it collects sooooo much dust and dirt its not funny...it was seriously the last thing I would have expected..
