I believe you're thinking of Space Gray not Mineral Gray. The render is darker, and tinted more than it should be, but take a look at it on Google images. Although Mineral Gray varies significantly based the lighting and other factors, here are a couple real world examples of how Mineral Gray can look - it's pretty dark, and in certain light there's a super subtle blue/red/purple tone - like a toned down, darker version of Sparkling Graphite Metallic. Note: I owned a SGM 135i, and while it's not nearly as purple-ish as that, MG is definitely darker than SGM.

The bottom image is Mineral Gray from BMWs official M3 color configurator.
