F15: Mineral White...

Can anyone on here describe how mineral white looks? It appears to be a different color in different photos which leads me to believe it is more of a pearl white than a metallic white. I went to two dealers my area and neither have mineral white in stock (even on other vehicles). The sales advisers showed me swatches but they're so small that it really does not convey the true color of the vehicle. Long story short, is MW more of an elderly white like Cadillac and Lexus or is it more of a metallic white?

You're right about it being pearl white but its not a distinct pearl like on Cadillac. If you don't look at it up close, it does not show the pearly shine.
I have a '14 f30 and i really like it better than alpine white.

It isn't old man pearl white by any means. It is a metallic color (not a pearl) and the extra 'flake' in the paint makes it look very nice. Alpine White is a great color if you want to save $500 but Mineral is very nice.

It is hard to explain, but it just looks more expensive in my book. I had alpine white on me e70 and mineral white on my f15 and as much as I liked alpine white, mineral white is just a step up especially on a sunny day!

Looked at one last week. Does look better than Flat white. Does not have the
ivory tint of my white diamond truck which I like, but nice vs flat
