Moonstone F80 M3 vs Silverstone
OK.. so I am ordering a F80 M3 2016 LCI next month and was not sure of the color. I always was interested in moonstone but never seen it in person especially in the US well.. my advisor called me yesterday when I was at work and told me a Moonstone 3 series came in and to go to the warehouse and check out the color in person.. I got there and behold it was a M3 in moonstone! just wow.. I snapped a couple of pics I think this guys car is the first moonstone M3 in the us? or NYC area.. enjoy and let me know what you think of the color.

pictures dont give this color justice. You really have to see it in person to get a sense of the depth of the color. Lot going on and its all awesome IMO. Would def recommend that color

The only thing I can tell for sure about exterior colors is: 1). You HAVE to find the car and inspect the color in sheet metal with your own eye balls. Don't trust what others are telling you. Make an effort to go and see the car for yourself (ideally in the model shape you are buying). If YOU like it - order it! 2). Silver is the safest, easiest to maintain, most boring color you can own. a

The color is great and changes so much. If that is your absolute favorite color it may be worth paying extra for. |

This color is sweeeet!
Here's a pretty sweet shot of this color on an M6. You can really see some of the depth in the sun.

as stated if you want moonstone, get that car. It will now cost 5k on future models
looks good but so hard to tell a difference with silverstone, even with the silverstone M4 right there |

That said if you love the color, get it. I personally would do Silverstone for $550 instead.

Wish it was my car someone else ordered it and I was able to get a sneak peak before he picked it up. I'm on the list for 2016 next month still not sure on color and as far as I know this is the first and only moonstone m3 here in the U.S. Or at least in the nyc area

OP, as others have said if you love the color and that one is available, grab it up. Will only cost you more to do it on an order, plus you might be able to save even more considering it's a '15. It wouldn't surprise me, though, if this car is a sold car that just came in. Good luck!
