White on White X5? Feedback?

[Johndong888]

Hey guys. Just placed an order for the X5.

I was wondering what people thought about Alphine White with Ivory White and Black Dakota leather?

Do you think it would look weird? I initially picked beige but the Ivory White had the center console in Black and I think that would look much better and easier to keep clean as well. I am not too worried about the white seats though.

Thoughts?

Best,
John

White with Beige is a frequent combination. That said, Ivory white is not far from Canberra Beige. Plus, Ivory white comes with black combination by default unless you go with Nappa (full ivory).

I am in dilemma between C Beige and Ivory Black on S Brown.

Man ivory is nice. but keep a mr. Clean pad easer in the car, you'll gonna need it!

Yeah I figured as well. The initial deposit was for Alpine White with Beige in hopes the beige would "tone" it down a bit. I kind of figured if anything, the half black and half white would tone it down even more. My first choice would be ivory black all the way, just the exterior color got me second guessing my choice lol.

I would definitely go with Ivory black. It sounds like such a winning combo

Lol yeah but I shouldn't have a problem. We are not jean-wearers. But I should definitely keep some leather cleaner in the car haha

I got the Mineral White with Beige

[Grimaldi]

I'm in the UK and have gone for Mineral White + Ivory/Black ... another 3+ weeks of waiting until the F15 is released here but car has been built.

I'm hoping this will be quite a striking combo. I initially opted for full Ivory which is available in the UK without Nappa but was worried about keeping so much ivory clean. I've stayed away from wood trims going for the Hexagon trim which should give a modern, bright, clean (at least initially!) and spacious look combined with the ivory/black upholstery.

Gratz. I was gonna say, full ivory and hexagon aluminum will NOT look good. Had a loaner like that before, it was awful. With the black contrast it should be okay since the black is around the center console, door inserts and such. I think the wood trim blends pretty nicely in the x5 these days. Not bad.

Would have love to see mineral white in the x5. I saw it before on the M3 and it was a lil silver-y under certain lighting. I don't like silver. Did you get your car yet?

[rganguly]

No I haven't, mine is a week 45 production date, so looking at mid Dec which I like as I can enjoy the drive as much as I can during Holiday time

As for the Mineral white yes it does look a bit silverish in sunlight, I saw a 7 series in mineral white and I loved it. Alpine is great too. Enjoy !!

If you feel like taking a ride, there is a Mineral White M sport demo in Mt. Kisco, NY (Westchester County). I have a thread with pics of it.. "drove an m sport"

Personally, I like that the mineral white has more a silvery-white tone than typical "pearl white" metallics that have a more champagne/beige tone to them. I think the silver flake keeps it a truer white, just with that little bit of depth and luster.. FWIW, in bright sun, I didn't necessarily think it looked silver at all, certainly not like looking at an actual silver car. We're ordering the mineral white with terra leather. That demo was actually what made us switch from black sapphire metallic. Same idea as the ivory/black, everything is black except the leather.

We just ordered the car in Alpine white with ivory/black interior and pure wood trim. Picking up the car in Spartanburg, SC! Can't wait!

Cheers. We have a 2010 F10 which the F15 is replacing with a wood trim and oyster upholstery so just fancied a change.

Glad to hear it, prefer the silver to the off white colour of some of the other finishes such as the Merc.

I'm thinking of going alpine white with the ivory/black combo as well

Just know that you will most likely have to custom order it. Every white car that we could find (searched entire US market) it only came w/Mocha or Beige interior. Ivory/black was a must for us b/c we wanted the "WOW look when anyone were to step in the car....haha.

Can I get your thoughts on Space Gray with Canberra Beige? Does anyone have pics of canberra beige for the 2014 X5?

it looks good on space grey. i test drove this vehicle. also, speakers are harman kardon and hence they are black. otherwise, you will see them in beige color.

Thanks and any comments on Space Gray and Canberra Beige combo? I ordered it coming from a 2011 space gray black combo. Want to go lighter this time around. I also got the Lux seating and mc seats.

It will be awesome combination. You could even go with Ivory/Black but the Ivory is really white. Looks stunning for first few weeks.

If not brown, I would have gone to Space Grey or Dark Graphite with Lighter interior.

I'll be ordering mineral white over ivory nappa
I think it's an awesome combo
