Oh yes, almost forgot - Welcome!

I know, I said Carbon Black - not even sure you can get that any more, even through special order, but a great color none-the-less. I also really like the silver grey alot, but I think I like the titanium silver better - especially if you get matching hood grills and nice wheels which are also titanium - just gives it that sleek monotone look...

We'll be expecting pictures within minutes of its delivery to you!

I had the same problem when buying mine..... I've seen quite a few X3s in different color, and I find Silver Grey to be the best - works really well under the sun light and moon light

Titanium Silver is a little too "loud" / white for me, and Black is a little too dark and losses some of the design detail of the car (ie: the body lines, shadow, headlights... etc)

I picked Silver Grey at the end and been extremely happy with it. Here are some of the pics, let me know if you want to see more samples:

Good Luck!

Silver Grey if you can't decide. The X5 Sterling Grey has really grown on me.

HEY YOU BE QUIET!! YOU ARE THE ROOT CAUSE OF MY DILEMMA !!

I had my mind set on titanium silver and it was when I saw your X3 I became a lost puppy . But I thank you now, I have once again found my manhood and I'm going to go with silver grey.

Thanks for all your recommendations my lords, I will for sure treat my baby with tender loving care.

THANK YOU!!

I would go with the titanium silver...there is just something about the way it shimmers when wet and under the moonlight

How can it be wet and under the moonlight...or even why...?

I HAVE a TiAg X, and everytime I see a silver grey, I turn green with envy...The best color IMO, but I got a real good deal on the TiAg, so I compromised...Worth the savings, but I still like the AgGrey...

Exclamation

I had the same "problem"

Is like this:
- I like black, but black "shrinks" the car (visual)
- I dont like Silver grey. I have my wife's car (Renault Megane sedan) and it's looking good only when is just washed. The rest of the time is seems to be dirty with only few traces of dust.
- I choosed titaniul silver (+ grey leather). This color seems for me very good and the car doesn't seems to be very small (comared to X5)
- I like Magic Blue, but most of X5 & 3 here are like this..

Gray



vs

Silver

Hahaha!!! Sorry for the dilemma!!! Actually this Forum in general has cause a lot of MY dielmma too, and as well as fix them. Lots of nice people and useful information here :p

Look at Mentat's photos above - the body / musle lines just above the door handles and on the hood - Silver grey brings them out really nicely (I notice the same on most of BMW series)!

Hey, what about interior color? I picked Grey for interior as well - Oops.. I'll be quiet now
