BMW M3-Mineral White Metallic by Advanced Detailing of South Florida

[Advanced Detailing]

I got called to take a look at this special order Mineral White M3 down in South beach.
He had seen the work i had done to another client's E39 M5 and wanted his looking better than it did.
The car was not in bad condition at all but he realized that it was missing the brilliant popping shine he was looking for.
It's his DD and he drives it weekly from the Keys to South Beach so it really needed some protection also.
This was on of those days that i did not feel like struggling, trying to capture imperfections in a Pearl White Metallic paint job so i shot only one before /after.

Great work on a stunning E92! Those CF bits really set things off on the white paint and those wheels......OMG those wheels! Then the interior, are you kidding me, what a combo!! One thing that's kinda of odd though, the front side marker lights, why are they white?

This photo shoot made my day, THANK YOU!

I love everything about the car besides its color. It has all the right options, packages, and add ons but the white kills it in my opinion. Great work on the M3.

He changed his side markers from orange to white to match the rest of the car.

^^^ But you lose the use of the side light though, odd. I know what your saying about white and I agree in most cases but on this car, it looks great, especially with the CF bits and wheels, the roof really ties it all in IMO. Now let's be clear though, white is NO comparison for Laguna Seca Blue (my personal favorite, too bad its not offered on the E92)

Great job, that is a beautiful M3.

Those are only reflective lights. No bulbs in them. Most M3 owners do that mod. White is bland in my opinion.

You CAN get any color on any M including LSB if you go through the Individual color book. rops:

Awesome great job Advanced Detailing. The mineral is actually my favorite color for a BMW. This BMW was the perfect color combo, well...maybe the black wheels would have to go.. None the less amazing car and great job.
Also what was used on my paint as LSP, I have a pearl black Acura and also a pearl white Acura which is hard to get shiny when compared to black.

Thanks, i used Collinite 845 for durability because, believe it or not, this car sits outside most of the time.
Try finding covered parking on south beach
As far as the gloss, as with any color, it's all in the polishing.

Love the car. All the options and color. Great work

I forgot to mention that this was the first time i used Meg's 101.

Yep can get any exterior/interior combo if you order thru the individual program. Hard to find Dealers willing unless you do ED in my experience. Nicely optioned with the Comp package as well. Any guess who's exhaust that is, did not recognize the etched logo and not sure if they have a performance exhaust for M's like the regular 3's do but the logo seems to indicate as such?

Very nice detail, I'm beginning to like Mineral White a whole lot more than Alpine White.

What a gorgeous car to detail!

Even though white can be somewhat disappointing due to its lack of reflectivity, I find the metallic amazing! Some of these whites appear to possess a pearl glow to them and remind me of several custom paint jobs I did in the late 70's and early 80's...

This is one very sexy BMW M3! rops:

This was definitely a special order M3, which is readily available at any BMW dealer, the problem is that some dealers don't even know about that program.
Down here with the volume of cars sold at most BMW dealerships , that should not be a problem at all.

This was the first Mineral white M i had seen instead of the usual Alpine white and after all the polishing, the pearl really reflected well in the sunlight.
