Finally sorted my spec out for my new 335, only to hear that BMW are launching a metallic white in the E90, namely mineral white.

My question is, has anyone seen it in the flesh, as it is available on the 7 series already? It is a no cost option, on the 335, but isn't available until June, which will prolong my order, but is it worth the wait?

I have found the following Youtube clip on a M3 in brilliant white(special order), however I believe the colour is the mineral white, and brilliant is just the US's name for it;

You can really see the colour at the end when it is out in the sunlight.

Any comments appreciated, oh and the timescale isnt a problem, so I can wait

Isn't WAFIKs M3 a metallic white? - there were loads of good pictures of it some months ago when he picked it up from the dealer - it looks great.

Which is pearl, Brilliant or mineral - because I heard mineral was a metallic?

Right, looks like Mineral and brilliant are different!! just need some mineral pictures now!

I would go for the new colour, will be more exclusive at least for a while. There are loads of the current shade of white cars about so go for something different. Were pics a while back of an exclusive white M3 which really did look good.

I think it might be on the BMW.de configurator.

Pick a coupe, then its a 1950EUR individual option for Mondstein (=Moonstone = a mineral) Metallic. It looks a lot darker than alpine white, but hard to tell in the rendered shots - of course it maybe a different colour.

if its pearl>>>>
ask stevie hoops as his pearls always come in necklaces

Moonstone is the M3 silver colour, as Booforty has

Doh! But it's not mineral

M3 below is Moonstone so not relevant, but worth a look anyway as the pics in the sun bring the colour out well!

There's heaps of pictures of Mineral White on new 7 series, just search for it in Google Images. It looks cool.

To be fair, it looks just the same as Alpine - Im sure it will be slightly different, but Im going to go with Alpine, see my other thread

An excellent choice sir

The mineral white looks good. I saw it in the showroom on 7 series. I just placed my M3 order today with mineral white. I think the paint will be a bit thicker than alpine.
