Agreed. Black by far looks the most cohesive and nice when clean. The black plastic blends with the black paint and it has the sharpest contrast with the white seats. That’s the reason I have a black F150. With that color and all the chrome it looks seriously sharp. Problem is, in MN, 5 months out of the year black is a ugly gray due to all the road salt/snow mix.
I kept it on the option list because of how good it looks but it’s looking more like the decision is between Sparkling Bronze and Platinum Graphite. Not sure that Space Gray is dark enough for the Oyster seats. The upside to Sparkling Bronze is that it’s very different. Nearly every X5 I see or BMW for that matter is a shade of Gray or Black. It might be nice to be different, but then again being different gets old too and I wonder if I’ll still like SB in two years. Oh choices…it’s tough. I know what would make this simple though. If BMW would let me get Carbon Black Metallic. Then I’d be done with the color choice.
