I also have the same colour on order. I think it looks great. Love the way the colour changes from different angles. There must be reason BMW uses this colour in all their promotional items!

I found mineral silver should looks great under the sun. it kinda shines. But little concern when its cloudy and rainy day. Because with kinda goldish color it tends to make car looks a bit old.

Had I not gotten the M Sport package, Mineral Silver would have been a serious contender to Alpine White for me. The first X3 I test drove was MS and it was beautiful. A great color!! Also will be very practical because it will not show dirt easily.

A fine choice!

Same decision as Ledzep. MS would have been our second choice. The color is gorgeous in real life and in the brocures.

You gotta be careful with the marketing materials sometimes because we fell in love with the charcoal grey on the e90 from the brochure and when the car first came out but when we saw the color under the sun, it had a purpleish tinge so we went titanium silver instead.
