I was pretty disappointed to learn that Dark Grey is no longer an option. It seems that Pure Grey looks silver, but I can't find any reliably accurate photos of it. I would consider Black but in the M3 configurator, it's not an option. Frozen Dark Grey is a dream color for me.

It is very much a silver and much lighter than Frozen Dark Grey on the M3.

It's funny to me how the same color looks different in different media. The video of the 8 series makes it look more grey than silver - it looks a tad darker than I expected. But those photos you posted make it look so silver, almost white, which I don't like. It's not as desirable as Dark Grey, but if it looks like it does on the 8 series, I'd take it on the M3. Now I just want to know what it would take for BMW to re-offer Dark Grey in the Frozen list.

Perhaps someone can confirm, as my CA doesn't know. It appears that there is a "Frozen Pure Grey", which we see linked above, and "Frozen Pure Grey II", which now appears in the configurator, and looks different. It looks like it's between Frozen Pure Grey (more silver) and Frozen Dark Grey (dark grey).

Hi guys, long time no post in this forum.

I was able to order my M3 with FDG (P6N) today (in France), after a request made by my dealer to BMW Individual, which confirmed the price (3650 euros) and availability.

Apparently they started to restrict the color on some markets. UK is possible, France too, I heard Canada can still get it. Probably because of limited availability.

It added 10 weeks to my delay. Was going to order in Skyscraper Grey (BMW will get back my M340i in Dravit, it would have been my first choice if i didn't have a G20 in this color already) but happy BMW Individual accepted the request.

Franck

PS : I just hope it's not an error and it will be cancelled after...

That's good news. I wonder what sorts of reasons could explain a limited availability of a color and thus a restriction. If you can order FDG in one country it seems you should be able to order it in another. After all, the M3 is only produced in one place, Germany, correct?

What's your total wait time on the car? Thanks.

This is gorgeous. You have the specs I want, and a proper South Florida tint as well. What work have you done thus far on the car?

Looks like the Tommy L ones. I have the same and they are great! Super easy to install. Really gives you peace of mind on a frozen paint car…

No idea on why there are restrictions, and why for example you can get it in Canada (Source, Dealer channel on Youtube) and not in the US.
If you select the BMW Ind. Vizualizer for UK, you can see FDG still there.

Concerning my car, first estimate is 6 months + 2,5 months for FDG. But we will know a bit better in a few weeks.

Not sure what my dealer is looking at, but I asked for FDG and he said it wasn't available. I'm in Canada. Has anyone here from Canada been able to order a 2023 M3 in FDG? I agree that it's very strange that FDG would be available for Canada orders and not USA.

Check comments (and my question) under this video. The dealer replied available in Canada.



Perhaps he didn't say it clearly : I think you can get it going with the individual program request, like me. Yes it's not on the main prod line anymore, so it will add 2 to 3 months delay.
I has my request approved by BMW Individual France and signed it so should be fine.
