Is this find by maddict3 also HDR? The color looks rather similar to the new photos? While the HDR seems obvious in the new pictures can it be that MW also photographs very silvery with almost no white in low light?

I like it so I hope it is the case. What I really think looks awful is the metallic whites that turn cream in low light. It seems MW instead turns cooler with a silver grey hue with no yellow undertones at all. I've seen MW several times but just in fluorescent light and sunshine.

How do we even know it's a BMW? It doesn't have the roundel)
Now instead of being just AW or YMB I just added MW to the mix.
I guess I'll end up with white since I really want the SO leather and I don't think it'll complement the YMB.

I have MW on my 335is and i wouldn't pick any other white. AW is the one that tends to turn cream in low light.

If you look at the first crease of the agressive bumper in the first series of pics, you can see dirt under it. I am willing to bet that with the white especially, that will be a big problem area for dirt showing and collecting.

That looks like a normal exposure to me.

Keep in mind that metallic paints are very difficult to represent in photographs. The characteristic you describe has a lot to do with the fact that metallics reflect the light that is cast upon them, and that color ends up mixing with the pigment. The reason most white metallics tend to look more amber in low light is because "low light" usually means evening sun (which is warmer) or artificial lighting that is also warmer (more red).

That looks absolutely awesome. A little over the top in the styling but I could live with it
