Alpine White

EB/Black Interior

Toyed with AW, but there's a ton of rude-driving folks in this neighborhood, known for their love of the white BMW's. Decided to stay at arm's length...

Like others have mentioned, I'm tired of looking out over parking lots and seeing nothing but black, white, silver, gray, sky mist, morning fog and every other gradient of black/white known to man. It's a sports car…let's get some color going. I'm not a huge fan of orange, but a snappy orange, vibrant purple or green paint job in the mix would help loosen up the gene pool a bit. Don't even get me started on how cool a deep ruby red or root beer brown can look. Saw some red M235i's around local dealers but a blue I saw just looked boss to me.

Sadly the biggest issue in the looks dept for me is the sore lack of wheel options. Hoping options show up before my baby lands (early April).

Ordered my 228 this morning, alpine white

the only decent colors for this car are melbourne red and glacier silver. Why the moonglow is not available is a mystery and sad one too.

i want my first bmw to be black, so i'll go with Jet Black.

but if i'd have to choose another color, then it would be Mineral Grey or Glacier Silver.

I just ordered an Alpine white today just for looks tbh M235i with driver assitance/premium/tech and premium sound 8spd. Pretty excited for it with the Coral Red interior.

I think you'd be correct if it were a stripped down car, but once you start adding tech and premium packages (to me at least) the $550 premium for the mineral colors is literally whatever at that point. I would have preferred a non mineral black color so that is the reason I went white personally.

Thinking about ordering a 228 in midnight blue. Haven't seen the color in person yet - any feedback?
