Mineral Silver X6 50i

Damn, interior shot didn't make the post. Will do that later. Have to leave now to play a concert (so that I can pay for this thing).

Back home from playing the concert (listened to some huge choral works on the premium sound system in my X6 on the way home, and it definitely has been upgraded from 2009 model; it.sounds amazing). I design high end audio systems, home theaters, and pro studios, and the sound I'm getting from this HK Logic 7 system compares favorably against the best studio monitoring setups I've installed. Incredible detail and retrieval of ambience at all volumes with very deep and fast low frequency response. Hard to believe that this system uses class D amplification. Much better than the 6.5 grand B&O system option in the Audi Q7 (I did an A/B comparison the other night, and the difference between the two was startling).

Here are two interior shots of my 2010 BMW X6 5.0. Not the greatest resolution, but you'll get the idea. Black perforated leather for active ventilated seats and dark bamboo trim. Didn't go for the leather dash.

Thank you. I originally ordered this vehicle in Vermillion Red, but just happened to pass by VOB BMW in Rockville, Maryland, and saw this thing through the showroom window. Went inside, got a close look, and immediately called my dealer to change the color to Mineral Silver. He though that I was nuts until the X6 arrived at his dealership. Everyone was all over this thing. So not more of his customers are considering the MS for their X6's. Now all I have to do is twist a few arms of my National Symphony colleagues (we have a sizeable "car guy" contingent) to go for some X6's. Two are already thinking about it.

Thank you, brocks. Mineral Silver is only available (so far) on 6 series and X6. I am not sure if it would work well on 3,5,7 X3 or even X5. Perhaps the most impressive thing about the X6 is that it is built by Americans. Goes to show that we can still do it as well or better than anyone else. BTW, I am going to be up in your neck of the woods tomorrow, driving to Long Pond, PA to have my bassoon repaired. Used to be a very boring 4 hour trip. I think that this time it will be a bit faster and not at all boring.

Congrats! She's a beauty.

I've never seen a mineral silver in the metal. I've actually only seen black and tasman in person. I bet the pictures don't do it any justice. Enjoy.

Thank you! You are right. The slight golden hue does not come through well in digital imaging. One of the nicest things about this color is that it changes a lot depending on the light at different times of the day. Many layers of color depth in this paint.

And that's what I like about this color. There are only handful of BMW colors which change with light(LeMans blue is one). I think pictures do not do justice to this color, you have to see in person and really appreciate.
