I love Platinum Gray. I too love how the colour changes depending on light and weather.
Even though the Alpine White looks HORRIBLE in rainy and/or winter weather....AW just looks amazing on the E70. I say I will not get it again because of the dust and how bad it looks in wet weather...but I probably would, because when it's clean...it looks great. Also, cooler in really hot, summer weather.
Here is my '11 X5:

We were in Downtown LA for dinner Saturday night. An X5 just like yours parked next to me. My wife says " it looks nicer in white "....Needless to say she ticked me off !!! :-/
