I've seen a lot of pics on Thundernight, BSM, Alpine White and Portimao. I am really curious about the Mineral White metallic. I know its probably going to look similar to the Alpine White but I am curious what the difference may be. My current order is with the Thundernight and I am not sure if I want to stick with that color, so I want to consider other ones. If you have one in Mineral White, please share. Thank you.

Here's a video that may help you a bit.

I have mineral white metallic and it looks great! I haven't seen alpine white next to it so I'm not sure what's the difference but my white really pops. [IMG][/IMG]

Ohh this looks beautiful. Thanks so much for sharing photos of your car.

I think getting real photos from real owners are the best compared to YouTube videos. But thanks again for all your responses

my spec is the MWM and I have googled pictures vs the alpine white.. and the majority of them look like the alpine white is extremely white.. but the MWM shifts colors depending on the light. my current car, Crystal White Metallic Subaru BRZ, is similar to MWM (from photos at least) as in that it pops out during extreme lighting due to the flakes in the paint.

please correct me if I am wrong as I do not have my M240i yet.

My friend has a white BRZ, not sure which white it is but the m240i just has more shades of white and looks less glossy. Sorry for the poor quality pictures, haven't taken any good pictures comparing them.

I think Alpine doesn't have metal flake in it while Mineral does. I think metal flake gives it a pearlescent quality. It's all about individual taste. I don't think this car has any "bad" color choices.

Good point. But until now I haven't seen much of it in red. And I'm not sure if it would look good in red though. But I won't know until I see more photos.

But in white it definitely looks good, whether it's alpine or mineral. Thanks to the OP for the photos. Especially the side view. That's the view that I think looks the most awkward. And for me, the only color it looks good from the side is BSM. Just my opinion though.

I had a mineral white m235.

alpine white is a very bright 'generic/clean' white.

mineral white is far more pearl. And very hard to capture what it looks like in pictures. Pictures tend to make it look 'off white' and not show off the pearl/metal flake'.

Mineral white really stands out at night with bright artificial light. Or at Dusk / Dawn where the reflections of the flake stand out.

Here are a couple pictures of mine during the day/night.

My take on it is that while I like the brighter white of Alpine, Mineral has some silver mixed with it and shows the curves, like the bulging rear fenders, better.

The Mineral jumps out at you less from the crowd of white cars in the parking lot but gives more curves and details to look at once you start looking at it.
