Question Carbon Black or Alpine White X6 M

I have a 2011 X6 M on order to be built in week 42(middle of october). Trying to decide between Carbon Black or Alpine White. The interior will be cinnamon. Any suggestions or comments? Thanks.

White if you drive it only in the winter. It would be sick to have a car exclusively for snow
Otherwise carbon black I was going to buy carbon black but decided to go sapphire black instead because it was darker.

Both are very nice...just depends on how "mean" you want to look.

BTW carbon black in person is stunning-it's a 2-for-1 deal with this color. By high noon you're indigo blue, by nightfall you're night rider black--

I am glad I am not the only guy here debating this colr choice. I first was planning to go with the Carbon Black and then wanted to go with white. I am still debating...I think black is probably better but I like the side profile of the white better yet...Good luck with your choice, let us know what you decide. I am planning to order next spring. Which dealer are you working with in NJ?

Well bro let me tell you I had the 09' X6 50i alpine white... Loved the color. Traded it in for the 2010 X6M Carbon Black. I have to say I am extremely pleased with the M, only do very much miss the Alpine White look! It's one preference I suppose. U don't see many Alpine White X6 M's

Monte Carlo Blue and you will get many positive comments, and stand out in a sea of Silver and Black. Carbon black looks good in bright Sunlight when perfectly clean. White, not sure why it is appealing, other than it does not show dirt as much. White was on a lot of the Demo cars, I drove one. No Thanks.

At least to me, Carbon Black has more blue in it. If you look at the rear quarter panel in the pic above, when the sun hits Carbon Black it is bascially a blue color. At night or in a darker environment, it is more black.
