Ordering 2012 today, need color help

Hello all. Looking for some advice on my order today. I had been planning on going Jet Black, Black Nevada on the Y 20's.

Dealer recommended going Sapphire Black, saying the Jet black paint was "soft" and prone to scratches. I currently have a 2009 Vermillion.

I like the green. Anyway, would love to here some opinions. So many great X6's here, a lot of Alpine White. My thought is that the X6 looked significantly smaller in Black and looses some of the unique shape.

Looking forward to following the discussion.

I like space gray...when I did the perf pickup at factory, the tour guide the green is very uncommon color on the line. He said days go by before he sees a green X6. I don't know if that's good thing or not. depends on your perception and if you really like green. personally it's my least fave color.

I would personally stay away from Jet Black. It is a very nice, deep black color, but your sales advisor is right. It will be scratched and show swirl marks very easily....even without any washing, or paint contact.

Sapphire Black is great, and looks wonderful on the X6. But, the best advice I could give is to follow your heart...you are the one that has to live with it everyday

Monaco blue with oyster and bamboo

Been getting a lot of compliments - it's a very unique color and people think I actually have 2 different x6 coz it looks black at night.
