Can any of the MW owners please post experiences and let me know how dirty the car gets? Are they easy to keep clean? I am coming from 3 black cars so definitely want something different.

I would really value some pictures showing the car when it hasn't been cleaned. I know it looks stunning when it's clean, but living in the UK means wet, dirty roads and I would appreciate pictures of your non clean mineral white cars. Anyone willing to put some pictures up for me? I'd really appreciate it

I need to make my mind up by the end of tomorrow, before my car goes into production.
I think the Mineral Grey sounds like the better choice given the wet and dirty roads here. I have an MG F30 335i and it looks way better when dirty than my previous non-metallic white 2012 A6 that I traded in. I could not be happier with the color. Even though my A6 was not metallic, I had a loaner car that was a Mineral White 1er and it looked very dirty after my 20 minute drive home from the dealership with roads that were only wet from the morning dew/frost.

However, for my M235i I chose black sapphire because it's been a while since I had a black car and also I already have an MG car that I am keeping.

I originally had Estoril Blue on order, but after seeing it in person at the dealer I quickly changed my order to black. I don't think the blue looked "mean" enough for me on the M235i, but I still think that color is great, too.

Either way, you can't go wrong. This car looks great in any color!! Let us know what you choose!!
