alpine white is just pure white. Nothing special about it, you'll look just like a wicked white evo.

I'd say go for mineral white, or even brilliant white if you want to stick w/the bmw line..

I think EB is a pretty darn beautiful color! Mine stays clean easily, hides scratches/dents and the flake is beautiful at the macro level. Unlike boring old white.

Thats quite the compliment. Thank you

FWIW those are not HDR shots. Just old fashioned shiny paint. I bought the car used and put about 20 hours into touch-ups, wet sanding and detailing.

My buddy Joey B bought his new and only takes about 5-6 hours of detailing per year to look just as good as mine. If you start from scratch you can make it beautiful! A few extra coats of clear and a reallllllly good wet-sanding would be such a nice starting point!
