Hi guys:
I have ordered a 2015 X6M from my local dealership, two X6Ms are coming, but kinda struggle between them:
The black and white are all loaded, only difference is that, the black one comes with night vision pkg, which could be helpful in Edmonton winter driving, since it's half year winter here.
Both of them come with red interior full merino leather. For black one, it just arrived at dealer, however the white one gonna be 3 weeks waiting(mid June delivery)

I personally prefer white exterior, thought the white BMW looks more sporty, the shape is more clear on white one, but I have sold my Q7, means I got no car to drive at this moment

which one would u choose regardless of the price? Thank u

My friends are all prefer the white one, since the night vision camera is mounted on the front grill, it will easily get dirty in the winter time, and they believe it will be covered by the snow and eventually become useless....
So what do u think? Will appreciate any comments...

The night vision camera is automatically cleaned by high pressure water when the headlights are cleaned . I think I remember reading somewhere that it's heated too, although not sure how that works given that it basically reads heat....

I have night vision and it's a fun toy, but not sure of its value yet. That said, I haven't got to drive in the perpetual grey fog that is the Pacific Northwest winter yet.

I'd do black over white, but colour is obviously a personal preference

I have the red interior though, and it's great. Was worried I wouldn't like it when I ordered it, but it's just "enough" to be sporty, without being too "loud".

Something else to consider about the night vision camera is what it does to the front grill. I, personally, don't like how it creates a large, solid, vertical section of plastic in the right of the grill for the mounting of the camera.

I have never seen a review of night vision that has thought it was worth the money after a few uses.

I would go with white. Easier to maintain, especially with all the snow, the black one will get bunch of scratches easily.
