By the way, excellent pictures!

I have Arctic Grey and I really like it accept for it doesn't hide swirl marks very well. Especially in certain lighting. I do wish they would offer more silver colors like what's available with Mercedes. |
Interesting to hear you say that because I actually think Arctic Grey does a good job at "looking clean" to include hiding swirl marks - better than average so to speak. But then, the X7 is my first car where I have really paid more attention to cleanliness, to include protecting the paint from things like swirls. Even more so than my F80 M3, and I always get compliments on how "clean and new" the paint on my M3 looks (and after almost 4 years and 50k miles of ownership, it does have some visible paint swirls unfortunately
).
Arctic Grey was not my first choice, but not my last either. So when I found an X7 on the lot that was configured almost perfect for me, it was still an easy decision to purchase. It is a nice, deep and rich color that still hides dirt well, IMHO. But really pops when clean (and protected), too - even if a grey paint is still a somewhat common color in general.
