What year is the 335 ? I had the same wheels on a 2008 335ix. The paint on the M3 is more metalic. The mineral is more of a flat white. Both look good.

amazing. quite a difference between the two. kind of makes the alpine white look plain.

wow, mineral for me. I love the metallic tint to mineral white. AW just looks pedestrian to me. Mineral looks like it's also a bit easier to make car appear clean.
But personally, I really dislike AW color itself. To me it's very pedistrian and looks too basic to me, no complexities in the color, same with Jet Black. |

the mineral white has a "matte" look to me, while the AW looks more "chalk" white...honestly though, you can't really go wrong with either one (but I'm thinking that mineral will get more attention here because it's newer/rarer).

I wish I could drive mine up there to then compare Brilliant White with Mineral White and Alpine White!

Mineral White for me. AW looks great don't get me wrong but white is so common these days so you need to have something more unique. Mineral White is exactly what I would want. It actually looks sort of pearlescent.

Just stopped by the local dealer to check out mineral white in person. I thought it looked awesome in the pics on here but in person, I didn't really like it.
