secondly, at the end of the day the shine of a "new m3" is far too powerful for people that buy these cars more for status than anything else, a lot of the crowd isn't going to want to be in the "old" car, so it was bound to happen.

Did the frozen dark gray look as good in person as it appears in the pics? That with the black wheels and accents looks really, really good.

I absolutely love the frozen grey as well, but I'm concerned about caring for it as a daily driver car. Do you pretty much have to get an Xpel Stealth wrap on it? I live in Chicago (with harsh winters). I'm wondering if the Frozen paint is just a problem waiting to happen.
I have the frozen Dark grey metallic on my M340xi and I find it very easy to look after (only 3 months in) here in Canada. No regrets. Got some special products for Matte paint like wash and detailer from Adams. Wrapped the hood mirrors and front bumper, ceramic coated the rest.

Brave man to get frozen in Canadian climate but kudos for being different.

If you can’t accept the new design language then keep your f8x generation. The car looks like it’s from the future in comparison to the f8x series- that doesn’t take anything away from the f8x but with half or full electric coming to these models in under 2 generations more, probably something we need to come to grips with

The front looks super aggressive in a good way but I’m still not sure it’s put together in a matter that flows. It gives me more American muscle vibes than it does German elegance, just a diff thing
I agree that the G80/82 have more of a muscle car look. They look more Detroit than Munich. This isn't necessarily bad, depending on your taste. I'd say, though, that these design elements represent the biggest departure from typical bmw styling that we've seen in a single iteration.

Wow Frozen dark grey is my new favorite color to see on a car. It's a sleeper when it comes to color but packs a strong punch when you get closer to the car. I'm not going to lie Frozen dark grey completely change my mind on the new M3, it makes the car look so aggressive! 🥵

I've never owned a frozen color, so that might be my go-to this time around.

Makes sense to me. My M4s have always felt like the baby of an old M3 and a Detroit muscle car - and the baby grew to be sexy and on steroids.

The rear brake calipers do look cheap and out of place on both cars, specially for an M. Looks like a base 320i caliper???

To add a positive I must say the frozen dark grey color looks nice, still not convinced on all the styling changes, will have to wait to see in person.

Can anyone Photoshop the sides of the front splitter in body color instead of black? Those black ends make the car look unbalanced to me, like it is missing a splitter and kind of makes the stance look weird and less aggressive.
