Can someone photoshop that center part that connects the grilles in silver. Curious to see how that would look.

I really think that last one is a lot of help. Note the white license plate and silver/greyness shows. Thanks for posting!

Thanks for pics.

As someone pointed out above, HS is not even a close relation to white by looking at contrast next to the white license plate.

I just saw a Mini Cooper in White Silver yesterday and it looked pretty damn close to HS. Of course they are not the same color but if anyone wants to get an idea and see a similar color in person, you guys should check out your local Mini dealer.

HS looks a lot like Glacier Silver in some of these pics.

I honestly thought this the other day but was too lazy to look up the colour.

I do think it's a group adaptation of this colour.

I totally agree. They may not be 100% same but I would say they look so much alike.

There is something more going on with the metallic in HS. It reacts to sun like Moonstone Metallic.

BMW has already acknowledged the S55 adds 121 lbs.
weights are available in these forums for the added weight from the brake package.. approx. another 31 lbs..

and yes Virginia... even BMW has put a figure on paper.

you however, are still welcome to stick your head in the sand until a car is placed on a set of scales..

Lol. Agree...

Is it white? Is it grey? Is it silver?

Unfortunately it's not good at being any of the above.

Jack of all colors grey?

BMW are masters of marketing. They get us excited over an "M exclusive" silver paint. Why do I get the feeling if they painted a 230i in this color no one would give a damn, lol.

Have they said " m exclusive " ? Or are you just wishfully thinking? They haven't had an exclusive color in about a decade.

I sure hope you won't be surprised when this color begins appearing on other models.

Yeah I should have clarified, It's not a rule, but it's a "circuit" named M color, which don't always get reused. Some do, of course.
