So for my X5, I'm going with something different...Imperial Blue...never had a car in this category.
Imperial blue is very attractive for metal pigments as Xirallic has light changes make it look very interesting depending on where this surrounded.

White has got more popularity after iPhone White.
White for me always relates to commercial vans & trucks!
Very easy to stick a company/business name/logo on a white vehicle and make it stand out.
I get it when people have white cars in hot climates (I lived in South Africa for a few years and white was a the norm), but in deepest miserable winter thru the rain and the mud! I dont get it!
Then again, I've always hated anything by Apple!

+1
No offense to any white "lovers" out there as I totally respect your color choice...but white personally resonates the white fridge boxes or a white cooler for me...

To this day the ratings for
First Mineral White
Second Space Grey
Third Carbon Black

Graphite/Sophisto I thought would have a lot of voting on this poll.
I'm amazed !

I saw the Graphite in person...a very beautiful color...the only thing that did set me back not to go for it is that, it is a color that has to be maintained and cleaned AT ALL TIMES...a dirty graphite car is not even close to enjoyable...especially here in Canada with all the snow and dirt...

Totally agree with you.
Graphite is very elegant, very luxurious, but with a lot of work to clean it.
It is the same case for all dark colors, continuous cleaning throughout the day.

I understand that where you live has a lot of snow and more carefully selected.
By the way Canada is a very beautiful country.

I wonder why people continue with demand of white and black? Lower depreciation? Custom? Many like the same?
