BLACK OR WHITE X3?

Hey guys,I have a black sapphire with terra interior E90 and I am going to buy an X3 for my fiancée.
What color should I buy the X3; White or Black?

Anyone have an X3 that might be able to give some warnings?

I had a Black/Terra X3 loaner few months ago and it was a nice mixture. I would go with Black but I also haven't seen the new X3's with the white painted bumper...

I just got the wife an 06 X3. She insisted on the silver, but I think it looked best in White. Wouldn't go with the tan interior though .. wasn't too crazy about it in the X3. Black is beautiful.

If you are buying new great, but if you are buying used stay away from the first year{2004}. Lots of annoying little problems.
I would go for white for a pre 2006 and black if its new.
I like the black unpaited bumpers better with the white.

Silver, Silver Gray, Jet Black and Black Sapphire are everywhere. We dont sell anywhere near as many AW X3's compared to those colors.

For my wife, I'm thinking of AW on black with the gray poplar trim.....that interior combo looks great on my E92.

Before my E92, I had 3 black cars in succession and will never go that way again.

If you are choosing between those two colors you really cant go wrong because they are both basic and classy but I think I would definitely go with

WHITE!
