My GTS is black, a safe colour that looks freaking sweet when clean. Stays clean for about 4 hours on a good day lol

I like the Cayenne in white, dark blue and umber. Really love a red GTS but couldn't find one with the right interior and pano roof.

The F10 M5 in Monte Carlo Blue was really yanking the heart strings before I pulled the trigger on the GTS.

Thanks!

I tend to keep vehicles for a decade. This one definitely, unless something tremendously odd goes wrong with it.

I'm still on the fence about the cohiba brown seats.. they're a kind of 'peanut butter brown' in color. I like it, and it complements the blue nicely, but I don't know that I love it. But that's one area where the factory options on colors are less than ideal. I didn't want a brown or beige dash, but didn't want excessively dark seats. There wasn't a leather black/beige combo. At least not without hemorrhaging money on special selections. I'd never seen the cohiba brown in person and the website pictures do not really represent it effectively.

I tried using the configurator and didn't see sapphire blue as an option. I know it's an add-on cost (metallic) but it wasn't PTS.

Ditto on the bright blue. It seems even on the driest of days there's enough moisture to get tossed off the wheels to the adjacent lower body trim. That and soot from the exhaust on the trim around the rear pipes.

I agree with this.

I had seen plenty of Cayenne's roll past me and none really caught my eye until I saw a silver beauty. I had even ridden several times in a friend's black GTS. I thought that it was a cool ride, of course, but it didn't seem to stand out to me. That silver really allowed me to study the vehicle itself and "pop."

I'm now the proud owner of a '16 Rhodium Silver Cayenne. Haha.

That said, I really like dark blue, sapphire blue, and umber. White is growing on me, even though I've never had a white car in my life.

White has grown on me - and I think the Cayenne CTT looks pretty awesome in white actually. It has the advantages of:

1. Cooler in the summer sun.

2. Doesn't show dirt. The only color better for this is beige. And I won't own a beige car (Camry anyone?) I owned a few black cars - they drove me nuts keeping them looking nice. On a white car you have to look closely to see it's dirty.

3. Doesn't register with cops. Owned a few red cars. Only cars I ever got pulled over in. White SUV - hey - it's a mom-mobile to the cop. It's damn near invisible to them. I like that.

I really DO prefer it over the black on the CTT - since the front end on the white one really shows off the three big grilles. On a black one - it's all black and they sort of disappear. If I had a black one I'd probably paint the grilles a granite color just so they could be seen. Silver to me is the "every other BMW" color. BMWs come in three colors. Most - silver, next-most - black, third-most - white. There are just too many silver German cars floating around for me to get excited by them (and I've owned about 4 of them..)

This is a good case of to each his own. I have a friend who will only own black cars. Usually with black interiors. I think he thinks it makes him look "bad"..

This ^^ ... (but of course bias on our part, right Don).

and with my vote in the white corner.... taking que' for a few more white pics....








.... but I gotta add that Bill's (wkearney99) Sapphire Blue Cayenne color is outstanding. If I were choosing a color for a brand new purchase, I think this color would trump even my desire for contrast of grills, blackout options, etc. That thing is stunning....

Steve, the only thing i would change is the front skid plate to that aluminum.

I wonder what it would look like painted black?

bweSteve

yea, I've seen this before (pic below),.... I liked it at first due to the separation it gave the two air inlets on each side,... BUT, the only thing I didn't like about it, was losing the contrast to all the individual black grilled rectangles along the upper section of the skid plate....

I'll have to get a better shot next time it's out of the garage.. I rather like the black lower bits - it makes the Cayenne look lower IMHO.

So I am looking at a Cayenne that is Sand White. Does anyone have an example or a standard white and sand white next to each other? If not, is there a verbal description you can help give me?

The pictures make it look like regular white...but I'm sure there is a subtle difference. Curious for other's opinions.

I have a silver CD, that also has a plastic wrap right around except on the tail gate. My whole family has white 4x4s to counter the african sun! It is brutal. But After seeing otis in that auburn/maroon colour, I am in love with that colour. Is it matt? Never seen one like that and there are tons of Cayennes in Cape Town.

you must be my twin

We wanted a Red GTSm looked for a few months, couldn't find one. A black GTS showed up in Charlotte, had the pano roof , roof rails and right interior we wanted..

black has grown on me. Never tried to keep it clean because its impossible. Looks best when absolutely filthy

desmotesta

to each his own I guess. Thats looks tacky, looks like a bloated Pontiac Vibe
