alpine white and marina bay blue

5_chill · 02-20-2023, 06:47 AM

I’m looking for opinions here. Has anyone seen Marina Bay Blueand Alpine White side by side? In your opinion, which looks classier? Easier to maintain? Which would you buy?

I’d buy MBB but I’d think white is easier to maintain. Can’t go wrong with either. I was sold on MBB until I saw Metalic Black.

Usually white is boring. My old E60 535xi was Alpine White. I liked it but zZz. I think the F90 with black or carbon fiber accents actually looks really good. Despite that compliment…

MBB all day imo. It’s the color I was seeking out just before pulling trigger on the CS! Although to be honest I don’t think I’ve ever seen it in person. Just in tons of pics and videos. Looks great though and I think changes a bit depending on lighting.

I’ve never seen it on an M5 in person either. I originally wanted AW, but ordered MBB based on a MBB X3M that I saw at the dealership. It was gorg

MBB is an amazing color, it just looks fantastic in all conditions

That does looks amazing. Is that PPF, or does it just look like that? It’s superb

I plan on doing the exact same to my 789 wheels. Looks sick man.

Im biased, you can be biased too - especially after you see this color in the light . IMO Silverstone Interior and type 789M wheels are the ideal complement to Marina Bay Blue . Ive had many complements and thumbs up so far ..

Absolutely gorgeous. I’m gonna stay with MBB. So far, I have the Tartufo interior box checked.

I am a little biased………but cant go wrong with either choice.

That looks excellent. Those are my two favorites.

That’s how I spec’d mine, but without the CF bits and CCB. Still on the fence with those. Your car looks beautiful. Did you go with PPF on there?

If you can swing it and you’re leasing all the extra options aren’t as expensive as you think. Mine also has mpe, b&w and most everything else except drivers pack.

I went all out on this one and have no regrets.

We’re not here long enough to do it any other way!

I was faced with the same color choices, my f10 m5 was alpine white which I really liked on that car. I like it on the f90 as well. I ended up with MBB with smoke white interior, which I love the combo and (with the exception of a couple people on here who dislike smoke) ive had nothing but compliments on the MBB/Smoke. Alpine white was my 2nd choice.

Sorry no idea why some are upside down. They arent until post is submitted. too lazy to fix it. lol.

Yep, they’re a great mod, so much more aggressive, especially coupled with the carbon.

Yeah it’s had PPF.

Jaro75 · 02-23-2023, 01:37 PM

I originally saw a white M5 that got me interested in ordering one but when it came time to pull the trigger I went with the MBB. I just wanted a color that was a bit more special for the car. My previous car was a mineral white metallic X5M comp which was another reason to skip the white.

I’ve had the car about a month and I’ve had someone comment (positively) on the color almost every day.
