Help, I'm having color issues...

Have the 2012 X6 50i all ready to be ordered. Love the update on pricing for 2012 as the price of the car I want actually went down.

For the last couple months I've been set on vermillion red with sand beige ventilated interior (black just makes this car too dark inside and yes, I love black).

I like vermillion because it was is/the launch color for the X6 and I think it is unique.

But damn if Deep Sea Blue does not look amazing on this car/truck. Worse, I love blue - period. Oh add on that it is a priority one option and that makes it even rarer (yet a local dealer has one in stock - strange).

So what's the vote - remember, with sand beige interior...what would you go with and why?

I have DSB with Oyster on my X6 and its most excellent.

I had Topaz blue with beige on my E53. I think that the beige looks good with blue, but in my opinion the beige is just horrendous to keep up with a kid. My back carpet even with rubber floor mats on it just looked nasty. So did the backs of the seats; I could never get them clean. The leather seating surfaces looked great though, even after 7yrs.

Now I have the Oyster seats to lighten up the cabin, but black everywhere feet will touch. Just magic.

I love the red on the X6. In my opinion, one of the best colours. Looks good, easier maintenance than a dark colour...the only problem is that you are easy to spot by police etc....My GT-R was red and I loved it!

I have the Vermillion Red with Black ventilated interior and I really like it. Looks very different in low or bright light.

I get many comments based solely on the Monte Carlo Blue color of my X6M. This color looks great in many different kinds of light, and is so uncommon, that people are really taken by surprise that this is a BMW.

Thanks everyone. Although Blue won the poll, it did not win me over. I ordered a Vermillion Red X6 today.
