Alpine White versus Silverstone

PhilT3 · 07-28-2014, 06:22 PM

Alpine White is my vote.

I too struggled with the color choice. I was between Space Gray and Alpine White.

The good news..... you CAN'T go wrong no matter which color you go with. The only color I personally don't like on the exterior is the Sahkir Orange. BUT... I LOVE it on the interior.

Best of luck.

to me Space gray is more classy then AW.
Sakhir Orange is unique color that you cannot find a lot in street

I'm obviously bias to AW, but from what I've seen of mineral white, it looks stellar!

IMHO, matte colors and loud colors look better on smaller cars. I usually stick to white/black/silver or some variation thereof for sedans. But then again I'm pretty boring. I really wish they had a good looking silver for the M5. SS is too blue for me. Moonstone might work. But a color like MB's Iridium Silver would be nice. I think Titanium silver is the closest but I'm not paying 5k for a stock color on other 5 series.

Whichever one you pick, you'll inevitably wonder what it would be like to own the other color. Happens every time to me.

So we have the battle between Alpine White and Silverstone or Mineral White versus Frozen Silver. Still waiting to hear if Mineral White or Frozen Silver Metallic are options for the 2015 and what they cost? Does anyone know the answer?

Thanks

Can't go wrong. Personal preference. I have always gone with aw and at one point the two other cars were also white. The lTest m5 is Singapore grey which I love but to each their own.

So far Frozen Silver wins in a coin flip over Mineral White.

It was also NOT a choice under any circumstances to get m6gc just about 6 months ago or maybe 9? When u first test drove it! As it didnt feel as fast as m5, acceleration was weak, etc.
Wouldnt be surprised if your next car will be mineral white with LED's, unless u already got led's on m6gc!
Congrats with new car
