Well I think white looks the biz in clear sky bright sunshine, such a Cali Thumbs Up

But here in dreary old grey Ireland it wouldn’t look great at all, also I think resale would be atrocious.

That said there’s a couple of white 5 series Beemers in town & they do look good.

Wouldn’t have the courage to get a white RRS though, unless I was in Cali Cool

A lot of it is dealer-led FUD.... resale is said to be bad on white cars. There is also the thing about white looking much better in a good climate where there's more blue sky and sunshine. However, I reckon if you want white I would go for it. Mind you, personally, I don't ever wash or look after my cars in any way so white would indeed end up Stornoway for me Laughing

so truth be told and cut to chase - white works well in hot climate but not here - and we would lose a few K in resale..
