Welp, so long Mineral grey, hello Glacier Silver.

Congratulations! Pity BMW couldn't be bothered matching the glove box plastic to the other parts of the interior. Looks like a completely different shade of black to me.

Robin_NL · 05-12-2012, 10:00 AM

Very nice. Not many silver F30s on this forum.

Congrats.

Bryan_Rivera · 05-12-2012, 10:13 AM

Was a little skeptical of the glacier silver with everest interior but it came out perfect!

Alen E90 · 05-12-2012, 11:11 AM

Maz335i · 05-12-2012, 11:32 AM

It is a different shade on purpose isn't it? To match the Everest gray seats and door inserts.

It really is a spectacular color. Can't wait for mine!

How would you say Glacier Silver compares to Titanium Silver? I had a TS X5 and loved the depth of the paint. It had much more going on as a silver car than I expected. Hope to see the same with Glacier, although it looks a little lighter.

I don't remember the difference in the titanium silver but the color came out amazing

No, it actually stays black. Here's another photo.

Recently had a look at an F30 at the dealer. In sunlight, there was definitely a mis-match in the shade of black of the glove box compared to the rest of the dash. The other thing I noticed was the rather large gaps between the plastic interior trim parts join other parts of the interior. For example, the car I looked at had silver trim and there was a 2-3mm gap where the silver trim of the door handle joined the door so that you could see the sharp edge of the silver plastic. Wasn't nearly as noticeable on cars with darker coloured trim pieces (e.g. high gloss black, fine line anthracite). Bit disappointing really.

Is there any red accent stitch on the grey leather still?

bcl0328 · 05-14-2012, 06:26 PM

not a fan of silver but damn this looks good.
