Moonstone Metallic M3?

Any thoughts? Would this look good and if so, what color interior would you go with?

I'm going up to West Palm Beach to see a Mineral White M4 for the first time today. At this point that's my color, but for and additional $500, I'm also looking at the individual colors.

Ok, so $1400 so individual if your already planing on metallic paint. Question is, how would it look? Moonstone Metallic.

"How would it look" is purely subjective. There are loads of pictures of M5/6 in Moonstone for you to analyze, but you may feel like you're looking at 100 different colors.

I have Moonstone on order with Sakhir orange interior.

It would look silvery, with some additional flake.

What do you want us to say?

It's an interesting color. Very deceptive. I would take it on a 4-door, no way on a coupe.

I might do a moonstone m3 with full SO interior because #yolo right? No but I'm very intrigued by moonstone; I've never seen it IRL but I kind of want my mineral white again but I also like Silverstone so this might be a nice middle ground

I thought the price for individual Tanzanite was $5,000 not $1950. Are you sure?

For what little I have seen in person and photos: Moonstone is silver/gold and Silverstone is silver/blue.

Both are nice, as stated - it is subjective.

Moonstone is hard to photograph. It's well named, as it matches the gem color well.

It doesn't look "silvery". It looks, at different times, ivory, gray, white, with a bit of yellow and green thrown in. Very elegant color. Not sure about it on an M3. More of a luxury color.

They are available. Just ask. You can see them in the builder on the German BMW site.
