335i Coupe

shifty335 · 07-14-2010, 10:02 AM

Hey Guys,

First time posting here! Just got my first BMW - 335i Coupe in Mineral white with Msports .. but I saw some amazing pics of a Le Mans blue coupe.

Just wanted to know everyone's opinion on which colour actually looks better in person? Any pics would be great too! I can only seem to find alpine white coupe pics, and not the mineral white.

mineral white ftw!

why? if you have your car now what's the point?

dmz · 07-19-2010, 04:26 PM

Yeah, why beat yourself up asking this question when you already bought your car? Just to make you feel better. Mineral white should be more unique than LM Blue as I have never seen one.

Wouldn't a poll be nice.

Brey335i · 07-19-2010, 04:54 PM

Mineral White looks amazing

E92-Lighting · 07-19-2010, 05:20 PM

Lemans blue

umzzy · 07-19-2010, 06:13 PM

i thought you can't order mineral white with ZMP??

alex2364 · 07-19-2010, 06:24 PM

What's Mineral White? I've never heard of that color before, only Alpine White.

BRAISKI · 07-19-2010, 06:34 PM

Mineral White...

So LeMans Blue would be less on the roads lol

dynamite196 · 07-19-2010, 06:41 PM

that depends..... what interior did you get

be1ieve1111 · 07-19-2010, 06:47 PM

Went in for service and checked out the mineral white. It's sex in paint form.

shifty335 · 07-20-2010, 03:46 PM

Sorry I didn't get it yet - they didn't have my build in any of the dealerships, so I had to get it factory build. During august there is a month shutdown in Germany, so I have a reserved spot for september production. My order just needs to be finalized before August 1st. Originally did the mineral white + dakota oyster interior .. but saw some amazing pics here with the Lemans.

Mineral white = sex in paint form ... I think I'm sold. Thx guys!

Edward · 07-20-2010, 04:05 PM

Mineral. easy answer.

shifty335 · 07-20-2010, 04:07 PM

Here's are a couple pics that I found for anyone interested. It looks different in person is all I can say...

It's funny to see you guys drooling over metallic white paint. Just about every other car maker has offered it for ages. I have it on my 10 year old Nissan SUV. It's nice, but I don't think it works well with the 3-series. A bit too luxurious and feminine. Alpine white is much more sporty and classic BMW.

Your preference. Others may not agree!

Different Colors go nicely with different manufacturers and models.

And maybe OP is a girl/woman?

_________

OP, think what is less common. I 'personally' like contrast b/w interior and exterior, e.g. Le Mans with Oyster, Mineral white with Chestnut brown/Coral red/Black/Saddle Brown. that's just me

coh4777 · 07-20-2010, 04:49 PM

Not sure why you are asking now given that you already have your car but both colors are great. Personally I prefer LMB but that's just me...

white is so played out IMO...

khaye1 · 07-20-2010, 05:23 PM

mineral white is nice but not sure on the color combo though...too matchy matchy for me. I'd say go with saddle or maybe coral
