Mineral Silver-35i X6

Palbay · 05-03-2008, 11:59 PM

Caught this Mineral Silver ( I think???) X6 on a car hauler today.It looks like Mineral Silver to me,based on the Silver X5 right in front of the X6.Even on an overcast day,Mineral Silver looks pretty good on the X6.I know a lot of people wanted to see a MS X6 in the metal (including me).I'm still on the lookout for a MS X6 on a sunny day.I thought the MS was a delayed availability situation?? Apparently someone has one on the way.Thanks! PalBay

Palbay congrats on another first. I don't know how you do it. Great comparison photos. Almost hade me going mineral but I am going to stay with TiAg, black, dark wood, though I do think herbie's color choice sounds rich. I guess I'm just a traditionalist. Nice to see it next to x5, and even white and space gray my other choices. Also good to see how large it is compared to the e92 under it. Palbay thanks for your work. Cheap

Palbay, or any others have seen the Mineral Silver in person, does it have gold tint (shade of gold) to it?

Palbay · 05-05-2008, 06:30 PM

2045, Yes at least to my eye's it does have a slight gold tint.I saw one other Mineral Silver X6 many months ago ( before I kept a camera in the car ) on a sunny day.The gold came out a little more in the sunlight.Hope this helps. Thanks. PalBay

I just wanted to post to this thread – really to bring it back up to the top of the list. These are AWESOME pictures (thanks again Palbay!)… I hit this thread at least once a week to drool over the Mineral Silver X6…

So if anyone gets a change to photograph an X6 in Mineral Silver in the SUNSHINE – please, oh please, do post..! THANKS!!!
