shawshank772 · 07-12-2010, 07:56 PM

This paint has been available in the UK for a few months now - there are some good pics of an E93 M3 including some close ups that show the colour quite well here:

Honestly I can't tell the difference between Alpine White..

IbanezGod · 07-14-2010, 09:33 PM

i can barely tell the difference. white is white.

e1000 · 07-14-2010, 11:18 PM

I've seen both of these colors side by side. Mineral white is NOT like a lexus pearl white. It's very close to alpine white. Actually, in direct sunlight, it's almost impossible to tell the difference from more than about 5 ft out. Even when you're within 5ft, you absolutely wouldn't notice unless someone told you or you were really looking.

Now, I didn't get a chance to see it under lower light however. It may make a difference at night or dusk.
