Still happy with this one

IMO, by far the best color on the M2. I don't have one so don't call me biased I want the 19 in MG, but not gonna hold my breath I am not a fan of the other M2 color offereings, lets hope the orange or silver are what I hope they will be.

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!

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.

Based on the sample SCOTT provided, I would agree with you - but this shot doesn't look like there's nearly as much silver as there is white:

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.

Early this year, further to a post by SCOTT26, I commented that Hockenheim Silver Metallic reminds me to some extent of Audi's 'Suzuka Grey Metallic':

We will need to see the color in person.

Judging by the rather fuzzy leaked picture showing the all-new Hockenheim Silver Metallic: the color reminds me to some extent of Audi's 'Suzuka Grey Metallic'. Cool color. In bright sunshine more white. More grey when overcast/darker (with a discreet grey/blue hue under certain lighting conditions).

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.

Suzuka Grey definitely doesn't look like primer. It has a lot of metallic in it. Very hard to capture with a camera.

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.

Just snap a few pics in whatever light you have available, post them up on the board, and we will be able to draw our own respective conclusions.
