Alpine White or Titanium Silver

I'm about to order a new X5. I love Alpine White and Titanium Silver. Plus, I prefer colors that look the best between washings and will still look good 5 years down the road.

I realize it's a personal call, but I just wanted some viewpoints from you guys.

I'm biased towards the Alpine White.

Alpine White is Allright

I am also biased since we've had two of them.

Any color looks good on LCI

Your answer is in the third sentence of your own post. Silver.

Alpine White on Imola Red!

Too bad you can't do it in E70 -- my favorite color combo of all time...

Ok, I'd go with AW...Silver is boring IMO..

I am biased toward white, but it isn't as easy to keep clean as I thought, looks better between washes than say black, but doesn't exactly not show the dirt, titanium would be better in that respect.

I think titanium silver is a great color on German cars, the issue is that so does everyone else, silver cars are everywhere, but white cars are becoming the new silver lately, so you see more and more white - hard to be unique with either color.

Get a red one - hardly every see a red X5!

Alpine White. There are WAY too many light silver BMW's on the road, imo. Space Gray would be a better alternative than traditional silver.

I am not biased, but my Alpine White X with black trims is a mean looking machine. Doesn't get dirty that easy, and then very easy to find the dirty spots and clean it up. And the Camel Beige Interior with black carpets and Dark Bamboo trim gives it one heck of a look.

That being said, I think the 2011/2011 Titanium Silver (if kept super shiny) is a very good looking beast.

white for me, but silver is pretty rare... it wasn't in the 90s, but it is now. Looks pretty good on the E70.
