Unfortunately, it's one of those colors that we'll have to see in real life to accurately judge for ourselves.
Some call it silverstone ii because there was original silverstone available until early 2000 (like e39 era). Original had much more blue hue than the new one.

Silverstone on F80/F82 is exactly same as silverstone on e90/e92.
Some people in e90 m3 forum still refers their color as silverstone ii.

I am not big fan of this color (seen one in real life) when it shows light blue tint on it. It looks nice when it shows only silver color (indoor shots or during cloud day).
