IMO, it's too plain without it. I still stare at it just to stare at it. You need to be happy with your decision so I don't think anyone but yourself should decide a color is or isn't a good choice.

With that said, I have a thing for white BMWs of any [recent] model.
White and Gray with the aero kit + 20's really are stunners, just beautiful. For whatever reason, the Sport's look ok without any extra pieces like aero-kit, but the non-Sports do look really bland. Then again, it was the same way with the E53.

Decided to go for it and picked it up about an hour ago - so far it is fantastic. Sounds better, feels better, looks better - I am now convinced - it is better. Wont use 3rd row often only for visiting family members, kids friends etc. Time for the mods too start, will be at the dealer tomorrow to order aero kit.
Thanks for all the responses will post some pics tomorrow.

X5SA,

Your choice is a great one IMO! I bought my wife an Alpine White w/kit and 20 chrome 214's (had to have it looking right when/if I drive it). If you want to see her truck with the kit go to my profile.

20 in Style #214 Chromed
HR lowering springs (est 1.8 inch fr/ 1.5 r)
Tire sensors
20x10.5/20x9.5 Michellin's
Alpine White Aero Kit
Titanium Grills
