My e92 m3 is Mineral White Metallic and I actually prefer Alpine White on the m3 but found a low mileage ZCP car in Mineral White that I couldn't pass up. Mineral white has grown on me, have had a few friends call it "pearl" which it may be remniscent of but I think it has more white hues than a typical pearl which may have some tan or brown in it. HS appears to have some gray/silver hues and some good variation and contrast between light and dark, which I appreciate. Reminds me of Porsche GT silver in that it has some lighting variation to it though clearly many shades lighter. Looking forward to seeing HS in person!

Always hard for me to tell if I will like a color or not just based upon a small sample size like this - it looks more silver than Gatte's cropped photo (which looked more white to me).
Can't wait to see it on the full car.

The best comparison of HS to a current color still seems to be Suzuka Gray
I love the color

See, now that looks pretty good - I hadn't seen that color referenced before.

I don’t see it. Suzuka Grey is much more subtle and I don’t see any silver in it. Hockenheim silver I think will be much more pure silver by the looks of it.

EDIT - although now that I look harder at the mirror in the pic below, there's definitely more silver than what you see at first glance.

I'll reserve judgement. Its so hard to tell from that small sample if I will like it or not.

The issue is in Munich it is Grey clouds and Snow so the natural light is not impressive.
Under the flash it highlights the more silver metallic flakes, but in reality it is not that Silver looking in real life more of an off-white. Under a Californian Blue sky it might enhance the Silver more. But for a slightly near comparison? Add more White to Lime Rock Grey to get that off white colour.

Here's Suzuka on an M3.. I think HS will be more silver than this but not by much under most lighting conditions.

Suzuka gray looks like primer to me. Would have been nice for real colors. The new gold and bright blue on the new X2 are awesome and would look great on an m2.

If the color, when officially released, leans more toward grey then I will consider it but if light silver then forget it for me. That just leaves black or the new orange color for my other choices. This is a sports car and in my opinion the color should enhance a sportiness and a stealthy look. Black and the new orange could be construed as sports car colors, in my personal opinion. Too bad they aren't offering the Metallic Mineral Grey.
