Mineral White Metallic

Has any one seen the new BMW color Mineral White Metallic in real life? I called up my Sales rep and ask to put my order on hold because im really interested in this color, but im kinda skeptical. I hate the way the pearl white lexus look. Its hard to judge from pics because every pic i see looks diffrent. and in anybodys opinion is the alpine white a better look? thank you.

Im driving my self crazy with this please help.

Oh by the way my original order was metallic black on black leather with sport package, Im considering changing it to Mineral white, black leather with black showdow trim.

Mineral white looks to be a very bright almost antiseptic

color. I know it looks good on the M3 but this executive/performance car needs a darker color. Have you checked out Sophisto Gray? It has a very elegant dark shimmering look but without the the high maintenance issues of a black car in addition to being a unique color.

Color is a personal taste issue and YOU should really make up your own mind on this. People can give you all the input they like but you have to live with the decision, so go with your gut feeling what YOU think looks best

@ Xdrive50

My gut feeling is telling Mineral white but i have not been able to see one in person, i seen every other color except that mineral white so its a hard choice to make based on just pics

I ordered my 750 LI as Mineral White/Saddle without seeing the colors in person. The car is built and at the port awaiting shipping. I had a chance to see Mineral White side by side with Alpine White today and the difference is very subtle. In sunlight, Mineral White has a very subtle silvery tint but still looks quite white. In my opinion it does not have Lexus pearl look.

I am very happy with my choice. Oyster interior with White looked stunning and very classy. I think saddle will look great too.

It seems my car is stuck at the port for a week now waiting for a ship. Driving me nuts.

My 750i in mineral white.

I just got my 2009 750i in mineral white. I am 26 years old and I hate the lexus pearl, and like you I ordered the car without seeing the color. I did mineral white with black napa interior. I absolutely could not be happier. I get so many compliments on the car it is ridiculous. I would definitely recommend mineral white, it is goregous.

It's a very subtle color and it's not the least bit warm like Lexus, nor is it opalescent like Cadillac. It has an very uniform silvery sheen unlike any metallic white I've seen before. I would definitely choose it over Alpine White.
