Looks RAD. Wayyy better than standard Valencia, which I despise.
Nice job!

Excellent job. My bet a normal VO still pops up better under sunlight (there really a few things comparable to that, I mean seeing it in person) but anywhere else (cloudy days, closed spaces) this looks more interesting. Eye catching for sure.

Being a detailer i feel like taking a buffer and buffing the stupid out of this flat "frozen" crap BMW is over doing. it needs to come to an end.

I like it, in fact prolly would take the frozen over the 'standard' VO.
Not to take anything away from this car, but more of a philosophical topic, I just wonder if in a couple of years the frozen theme will be too played out. It was cool early on when it came out on some exclusive cars, but now because of wraps and many manufacturers offering this (at a healthy profit margin), over time it may become too common and the uniqueness/novelty will easily wear off. And yeah, the required maintenance is a PITA!

This only applies to US customers in the mainland. I purchased mine through US military sales in Germany and I didn't have to sign anything. Also no other country makes you sign any forms in regards to frozen paint. US is just suing happy country, and that's why BMW takes extra step to protect themselves.

Beautiful car!
I love to look at frozen cars but I prefer gloss for my own whip.

Looks awesome, but not my preferred finish. I am with some of the old school guys here. I love to make my ride shine. This is beautiful and I am thankful there are many choices for all the great BMW's.

Same, and only, reason why we didn't get the ceramic breaks on the M5/M6 for MY 2013. BMW lawyers needed to draft a release, which will be forthcoming for customers opting for these in the MY2014 cars (as the ceramic breaks won't be covered under the maintenance plan). Gotta 'love' the US's litigious ways....

Looks good! Of course, the anxiety level whilst driving the car is bound to go up. No chips, bird poo, or any blemish is allowed.
Frozen paint is a very whiny mistress. |
