jumi · 02-07-2011, 03:44 AM

Hi, Im a new member here.
Is there any link where I can see Mineralweiss color??
I have ordered my car but I haven´t seen this color yet...
I hope is nice.
Thanks for your help

Translated it's probably Mineral White? Same colour I've ordered (the wait, the wait).

Check out your local configurator.

It's metallic - and looking at these pics I think we've made the right choice

Thanks, Yes I think its the right choice!
I also added X-line with silver bars, Shadow line, steptronic, rotbraun leather with sport seats, panoramic roof and 323 wheels. I think is gonna be nice!

Cheers

I can't tell any difference between Alpine and Mineral.

alexmcred · 02-07-2011, 05:14 PM

I have seen the x1 in white and I think it looks great not sure it it was Alpine or Mineral but it was wow

Gatekeeper · 02-08-2011, 01:49 AM

A matter of taste I suppose...
I don't like white cars, they look too much like plumber's vans.

But I have yet to see a picture of a Mineral White X1.. It's bugging me big time now !!

Here you go:

Gatekeeper · 02-08-2011, 04:33 AM

That's Alpine White, since it's a MY09 or MY10.

Gatekeeper · 02-08-2011, 05:16 AM

No problemo

Thanks for the pic.
It looks like a kinda pearl color... I suppose not as "pure" white as Alpine's, a bit of eggshell perhaps ?

(Jeez, I feel like I'm shopping at Farrow & Ball !

)

Oh well...

alexmcred · 02-08-2011, 05:33 AM

Think your right about it being Pearl White where as Alpine looks Brilliant white

Looks a bit like the metallic white as found on the fiat 500. Even maybe a touch silver, like on Platinum Silver?

Side by side comparison of an alpine white and mineral white.

Gatekeeper · 02-08-2011, 11:50 AM

Thanks Jason, brilliant comparison

It does look almost silver-ish in the light. Not quite like the fiat's which can be a bit pink-ish

Mario, you sound like you are choosing a new tie !

Am quite particular though and like attention to detail.

Went to look at a cayman this afternoon

jumi · 02-19-2011, 03:39 PM

Finally it arrived, but not in my hands yet... hope I take it next monday!

NOT WASHED YET...VERY VERY DIRTY (but still AMAZING)

manicm · 02-19-2011, 06:53 PM

Very nice

More pics please!

mario486 · 02-20-2011, 05:04 AM

Saw my first mineral White BMW yesterday, on a 330i I was chasing across the Forth Road bridge. Nice colour, Quite complex as it was changing colour in the light. Went from White to silver to grey as the angles change. As with all whites here in the UK it's going to need a lot of TLC to stay clean.
