nice colors but if your going to shell out $5000 for individual colors then it might as well be something that is unique and noticeable like Laguna Seca Blue or Dakar Yellow

I would Not be able to tell Moonstone or Brilliant White from SSII or AW respectivly unless i am close to the cars under good lighting

I wonder how I managed to get Moonstone for $3000 NZD (=$2400 AUD at current exchange rate) ?!? Piano Black Trim price looks right (I paid $1000 NZD)...

Moonstone is definitely very different from SSII - it's very difficult to capture its colour in photos. Very multi-dimensional and very dependent on lighting conditions. The first time I saw it, I thought it was a pearl white, I then saw it on an E93 M3 in a dealer show room and came across more as a slightly metallic beige silver.

Did the OP manage to see the Piano Black Individual trim? Thoughts?

Not a fan of the white at all.

Any other pictures of the white?

Patricius · 03-02-2009, 07:26 AM

I would like to see this car in Sepia. I freaking love that color!!!

Moonstone is also badass!

Sticky · 03-02-2009, 07:48 AM

Imola Red... that is the color.

Yep. I think that if you manage to get a "special" colour in the USA, they will charge you up to US$5000. These, for the most part, are not "Individual" colours, I think.

Here in Canada, the Individual package for the M3 costs CDN$3900, which includes access to not only the Individual colours, but also the interior trims.

+1. Can't tell the diff between this moonstone and SSII. What is the point of paying 5k for this anyway?

Interesting........ these were my two color choices for my E90 M3. I tried to order Brilliant White but it is no longer in the Canadian Individual color choices for 2009. I ended up ordering my car in Moonstone and it will soon be here!!!!! Cant wait to see it!!!!!

Jack28 · 03-02-2009, 08:06 PM

I think Brilliant White is like that Metallic White that Lexus Has, Its shiny Metallic under
the Light, I dont know about that on an M3 IMO... Moonstone is Nice though....

signes · 03-02-2009, 08:14 PM

Brilliant looks like a pearl white? I like Alpine better...

doba_s · 03-02-2009, 08:27 PM

AW is so much better ... it's not a lexus ...

M3#3 · 03-02-2009, 09:15 PM

Wasn't Moonstone originally offered as an optional color when information was first released about the '08 M3 back in early '07?

Year's_End · 03-02-2009, 09:30 PM

i'm diggin moonstone...but it looks so similar to SSII

nusevad · 03-02-2009, 09:41 PM
