X6 Color

Currently have an '11 X6 50 on order. I've opted for titanium silver, but I'm second guessing myself because I basically have issues

Anyway I have a few days before the thing gets scheduled for production so I thought I would do a poll of some of the other colors that I would consider and see what you all think. (I'm really starting to like Vermillion!)

I prefer Jet Black but between those I would go with Vermillion--it's the most unique of them.

Those are the only color choices or are those your top four? Doesn't seem to be a lot of choice...

I have a Space Grey X5 and my previous BMW was Silver. I never want to buy another grey or silver car -- they are so common. White is so common now too.

Anyway, with the choices that you gave, I had to select Vermillion....

Huh? You think it would get more attention than red?

Don't want to be sexist but are you a woman? Women definitely prefer white cars --- "not that there's anything wrong with that"!

Cars or SUVs that are "bulbous" in nature, definitely do not look better in white --- maybe that does not apply to the X6 though. I haven't seen any white ones yet.

Mineral silver is the most unique. You rarely see mineral silver. I have seen dozens of red X6 but only 5 or 6 mineral silver X6. BTW, its a beautiful color if you want a light color. Titanium is dime a dozen.

Titanium silver is the best color for me, it dos not show scratches and dirt, and it always remains a classic car color.

Don't take my comment too seriously. I was just kidding around. Here in the U.S., white BMWs are currently popular with women. That does not apply to the M3 though (as the white M3 is popular with men). Am I basing this all on facts that I can easily substantiate? No, I am not

Ha I guess I needed to re-phrase that---Vermillion is a unique color among all cars out there---you don't see too many with that type of red.
