White - looks clean longer, no carbon black, black X3s are gorgeous, no white, it stays a little cooler in the hot sun, no black makes the X3 appear much stealthier
white?....................................... ...................black?......................... .............................................maybe thats why I chose red.

I"m on my iphone, so I can't vote. But you can hand tally one for black. As much as I don't like the body kit, I do think it looks better in black than in white.

Agreed - you can't go wrong either way. I always find these polls a bit odd because the preference for these types of things will always be in the eye of the beholder. You can come out and say what your ideal build looks like and there will be someone to tell you it looks stupid.

white, although with with m-package look great on picture, in real life it never look as good and often driven by women. I choose sapphire black but the m-package will not show as much as if you choose red (I was close to choose red but I got afraid to get tired of the color after a few years).

I have the carbon black for my m3, it's a bit more work, but I really think it's worth it. It looks black in the shade and the sun hits it, it's blue. I recieved tons of praises for it.
I am looking for an X3 wife ..., but I didn't think carbon black was a color option for NA. It's not on their website. My wife saw the white one at the dealer, she liked it as well but commented that it looked a bit femanine. She then saw the black one and then said, it's got to be a darker color for he X3, cuase it gives it an stealth and manly look! I tend to agree, but in the end, the car is for her so I guess it's going to be carbon black if availble. Works for me as well, cause it will match my M3 :-) |

I just ordered 35i M-sport, black ext and beige leather + Wave Brown Wood trims.
Black looks richer to me. The way i'm driving, i better be not too obvious (white) on the road. |

I say go for the carbon black...it sounds awesome...I myself am going back and forth between jet black and alpine white...MA78's photo just nudged me a little further to the white side for myself, but with the M package I say carbon black.

Carbon Black Vs. Alpine White
Help! Losing sleep, Staring at photos!
Obviously this is a personal opinion for everyone but after seeing ChitownX's pics of Carbon Black M-Sport I can't decide if I have made the right decision to go with AW for my M-Sport. AW looks amazing but now seeing the CB I'm on fence again... I will have to decide soon as this is taking all my mental energy right now. Anyone else with the same dilemma?? |

chitownx m-sportis deceptive, its because of the 20" rims that it looks so hot, so unless u are leashing out the extra cash for those rims, stick with your gut or drawstraws and live with the consequences.

Color is really a personal taste issue... look at the above replies right here. You have only given 2 color choices look at the many different answers...
WITH ALL DO RESPECT to all the people who like white... I find a white car like a frige!!! It's like a body without soul... It doesn't talk to you...it doesn't express itself. But then again this is a personal thought and all white drivers are respected because they like it and that's all perfect. Also my taste was on all cars and not BMW in particular. |

My dealer guy reminded me that the front bumper, which is made of plastic (?) could go yellow-ish with time.
Anyone ever saw that happen? On another note, m-sport AW looks bigger/larger than black models. High gloss window trims also looks better on AW. |

I'm not a big fan of pearl whites. I feel it gives them an off white tint. I love the flat white of the Alpine. This x3 will be my 4th Alpine white BMW!
