I thought we can do a poll to learn what colors are the most popular from the available options. I listed the upcharge for the special colors so we can consider "whether its worth the extra $1950 as my fav color" or not. Please select your top choice as this is a single choice poll.

Didn't know black is this popular!

Local dealer has one in Marina Bay Blue over black merino leather. Tanzanite is my favorite, though I'd kill if they released one in Imola red!

I am leaning towards Tanzanite blue for my order but started thinking black also looks awesome on X7 with crystal lights

Where’s Arctic Grey?

Ah. Missed the M60i part.

I can see why people love the black color. Looks like a beast in all black

Black is infinitely harder to keep clean if that's a priority. I have a carbon black X3 and my M550i was Mediterranean Blue. The M550i was much easier to keep looking nice.

Malachite Green missing from the poll… because, of course, it’s clearly the best. 😊

The poll is about the current colors available to order.

Yes…..Black Sapphire Metalic. I also had a Carbon Black and between the two, the BSM is true black and much easier to maintain. Carbon Black is really dark blue and it shows hairline scratches just looking at it.







Here is Carbon Black:

Dravit gray is the ultimate hipster grandpa color. Dark gray in the shade, golden in the sunshine. Pretty understated.

I might be in my 30’s but it’s one of my favorite colors. Doesn’t look half bad dirty either as compared to black which looks awful with dirt/dust.

You could also scratch two itches in one by special ordering the Macao Blue Metallic that was posted on the Bimmerpost home page a few days ago. As someone said in the comments, it's like Dravit Grey and Tanzanite Blue had a baby.

There is a touch of carbon black in it as well.

BSM is more serious and elegant and also slims the appearance. Tanzanite has a similar effect depending on the lighting - beautiful color but requires PPF. Brighter colors really pop and make the X7 look much larger. We love BSM on our X7 and haven’t done PPF or ceramic and it still looks great after 10k miles.

IMHO it may look good on a smaller car like 3 series but it is too much color on a big SUV like X7. Also, once you see the purple hue, hard to unsee it.

Yea, I changed my order to BSM over tartufo and going to keep it this way. It definitely takes the X7 to next level. I had carbon black on my 760 and even with ceramic coating, it was a PITA to keep clean. A single dust particle would show on it. BSM is a tad better than carbon black in this regard I think.

Excellent choice 😉

You’re going to love it. We went with the Atlas grey/white full leather. I love the look. And black/tartufo will look amazing.
