Monte Carlo Blue looks good in the Sun or shade.

Agree, love the MCB on the ///M. My other fav is SG. Good luck with your decision.

This thread should be titled - what primer color does my car have!

j/k - but seriously, vermillion makes the car faster. That new blue is pretty sweet too

I'd definitely suggest you go in for the AW. As mentioned in the earlier posts, it is important to consider the interior colour as well (I suggest Chateau Black or Oyster). However whats also very important to consider is the character of the vehicle in general. It is a curvy, although large vehicle. In white, this makes it look even larger, bolder and tougher. SG is also a very good colour, but maybe for an M3; M5; etc. Between these two colours, for the X6, I'd surely recon the AW. Also- do remember that the trunk is raised which means the tires are very visible. Its a good idea to upsize to
20"s running on 315's (rear) in a staggered setup or (if your roads/potholes can afford them) even 21"s with 325's in the rear. Makes the vehicle look like a mad, mean machine. All the best!

I have Carbon Black with Cinnamon interior, carbon fiber trim. It's an awesome combo, Cinnamon on BMW's website looks way darker than what it is, it's much closer to the interior color you see in Ferrari's, I guess you have to see it in person. And yes, don't be fooled, the Carbon Black is hard to keep clean, but it does look great when it is clean, it's more metallic blue than black in the sun.

Good luck with your color picks!
