After I swapped out my silver wheels for black and added CF bits I am positively in love with this color and wouldn't change it.

Here's mine after a wash the other day in partly overcast conditions.
Second picture is mostly overcast, can you see the nuances?

Same camera.

Seems like you're my Montreal twin, minus a few differences... I might have actually seen you around while drinving the wifey's X1. "real" pictures are coming soon, as soon as my summer wheels will be installed.

Nice car yes indeed we have the same car except I opted for lightweight front lip to match the m performance side skirts that will all be installed next week. Are you on stock suspension? I did Eibach V2 and love the drop

Colinv6 · 04-15-2017, 03:30 PM

Dang!! Even though I've defected to the orange side, I was just flicking through here thinking now damn good Silverstone looks!

Keep em coming guys!

Jockey · 04-15-2017, 04:53 PM

Some to come on Tuesday after I get the M perf HAS installed

Yup, I'm on stock suspension - not sure if I'll drop the car as it's winter-driven. We'll see.

Loving my SS

Looks like you have SS + SS. Same as mine.

materialdistractions · 05-14-2017, 10:09 PM

Finally got a chance to snap a few pics of my car with her new shoes.

hellokitty · 06-08-2017, 01:53 AM

Looking at doing 35% tint. What brand do you guys recommend to look the best on SS?

wdong · 06-26-2017, 03:05 AM

Hi everyone, there will be soon another Silverstone II M3 coming, I think perhaps it has already built or under production now:

Silverstone with Sakhir Oranger inside

Options:
Sunroof (changed from the Carbon roof) am i the only owner with sunroof

Competition package with BLACK Wheel
Apple carplay
Parking assistant
Sun protection glazing

by the way, I am from Melbourne

TRY M33 · 06-26-2017, 05:37 AM

Custom HRE R101

Same camera.

same here but my finding was after the purchase, my initial thought on this colour is low profile, and elegant in its colour.

but one day morning went to work, cold winter morning (Melbourne winter is your summer), I drove past a SS M3, it looks brilliant, oh man! morning sun shining on the car with dew, black CP wheel, it is just stunning and like a gorgeous woman standing there, you just want to ride on it...

I immediately ringing my wife and told her I have made an absolutely right choice of colour

Keeping this thread going

TitanNut88 · 06-26-2017, 02:04 PM

Man, Sakhir being too showy, this is the only color that can make me skip Mineral Grey...

T1M3LESS · 06-26-2017, 03:13 PM

Can't go wrong with Silverstone!

Its such a tough call! I had a titanium silver (which pales in comparison to SS) 335 prior to the F80 and had wanted MG so bad, glad I did it. Sometimes though when you go through this thread, it makes you seriously second guess yourself

Silverstone

bradleym · 08-19-2017, 02:44 PM

was out recently scouting locations to watch solar eclipse, and no one has posted here in a while...

marvinp · 09-12-2017, 07:52 PM

Thought I'd share my new 2018 M3 in SSII

View post on imgur.com

I had been torn between getting silver 666M wheels vs black since I hadn't seen the black 666M on a Silverstone color when I ordered the car. Definitely happy with my final choice though. Plus on the bright side, the brake dust will be barely noticeable
