White

[Kulrom]

Any ideas why BMW insists so much on the white color? Yesterday i was in the BMW service and i saw 40-50 new bimmers and they were all white painted.

I remember earlier bimmers were all Yellow, Red, Silver and Black. Maybe few dark blue and that's it. Now i see more white bimmers. Why its so?

[Charlee]

Because new bm's in white are sexaaaay! :P

i do fancy a white 7 series, not to sure why! i do agree, people seem to of lost there abilty to choose different colours.

[Charlee]

Well I certainly haven't, as you can tell my car stands out :) I love the one series in white though..

[IanIOM]

I must admit i am not a fan of the compact, HOWEVER i spent 4 months trying to find one in Yellow, then gave up, 318TI in Yellow is a seriously cool car!

Whites a real sod to keep clean,but gotta admit certain beemers look great in white :)

[Charlee]

Ta Ian! :) I do have plans for mine but I've just moved into my own flat so a bit tight for money at the mo!

[IanIOM]

Agree white is hard to keep clean but nothing is worse than cleaning a black car.damn swirl marks and water marks!

Congratulations in order for you charlee,dont worry about being skint! Life will ensure it stays like this for the majorty of us!

Very true, and I agree with you on the black car. My A3 was black and I always got frustrated when cleaning it. Until someone keyed the whole drivers side and I gave up :(

Hi guys, thanks for the inputs but i was wondering if anyone maybe knows why BMW GROUP forces and "favorizes" the white color over Black, Red and other colors?

[IanIOM]

It is the IN colour at present, supply and demand i guess!

Makes sense but they kinda force the white even if there is no demand. All the new models were presented in white color series 3, series 5 etc.

[IanIOM]

Ah the thing is, the demand is there

[Steve]

how do you mean force? If i was in the dealership and i wanted red.. i want red.

True. I am certain you can order a Red bimmer but with importing 90% white vehicles they make you feel that it's the right choice. You see what i mean. Marketing power. So yes they favorize the white color (please check the official presentation of series 3 - please notice on what car they put their signatures lol)

Answering the original question...

White BMW's DO NOT SELL at all, especially second-hand... FACT

I can give you Stats on colour sales?

Exactly and maybe they are trying to change this trend ... but just maybe :)

[Snypa-D]

Your such an ANORAK !! lmfao

[Kulrom]

Ok i guess i am bothering but the picture i saw there left a great impression on me. Everything around the saloon was in white color. Literally! All the tracks were loaded with white bimmers oh man such experience. However i give up on further posting and interest in this particular subject. Thanks for reading so far.
