I think the Red is sharp. But I would go with white.

I also think silver with red leather would be hot.

For such a large car, white is a lot easier to maintain.

I ll go with the red.

There must be a reason why BMW chose Red for the brochures.

I agree. I ordered Red with Sand Beige Nappa seats. Was a very hard decision because the X6 looks good in so many colors!

I think the X6 rear end looks kind of pinched in lighter colors. Much better in VR and other darker shades. I don't mind white as a car color, but I really don't think it suits the X6 -- too much like a rental car. I love Space Grey, but I think black would be my second choice after VR.

I ordered my xDrive50i in Black Sapphire Metallic with Black Perforated Nevada Leather interior. I just wish they had the Alcantara leather option as ventilated seats ...

I ordered mine with space gray. The VR is impressive but for me having a red performance car is like waving a red flag at a bull , with the police being the bull

I was thinking about Deep Sea Blue, but I have a neighbor with whom I'm not thrilled who has a van with a similar color, so I went with Tasmin Green. I think it's different and kind of rare.

Red does it for me. My VR has the beige interior. The salesman talked us out of the oyster by claiming it would be hard to keep clean

Nonsense!

My wife's BMW has an almost similar color and I am really surprised how well it actually holds up. In the past two years, I only wiped it down twice with a moist soft cloth. The seats weren't even dirty, it was just part of regular car cleaning. The seats still look the same as the day we picked up the car!

The only reason I ordered my 50i with a black interior is because I want the ventilated seats and that option is only available in combination with either black or beige. I would have LOVED to order the oyster interior, that was my first choice. I had cars with beige interior and I do NOT like that interior on the X6 at all. So black was my only choice...

One of my previous cars had a black interior and I liked it a lot but it does have the drawback of getting really hot in the sun...

Anyway, back to the oyster interior, if it was your original choice and you still have the chance of changing your order, I highly recommend that you go back and change your order. Otherwise you may regret it down the road.
