You won't regret the frozen dark grey - it's absolutely incredible. It really suits the G80 perfectly.

I went to a detailer and had them apply XPEL stealth samples to a couple exotics, and in my opinion the XPEL stealth matte doesn't come close to the factory frozen paint... Not even close. That said, you get two for one: Matte paint and PPF, so there are benefits to the XPEL approach.

Living in Ohio, I should be the one getting xDrive. Was torn on getting the lighter interior, but settled on black to change things up on my current M3.

Gorgeous color. How does one take care of it? Normal waxing and polishing would be out I presume.

Yeah. There's some more care required but less time as well.

Not sure if you're a big car cleaner/detailer but you would carry on as normal. I've not detailed a car for many years so some things may have changed but -

2 bucket wash method with a drying towel to pat dry or use a leaf blower or similar to reduce contact. That's it. No waxes, no polishes. So easier to keep clean but harder to restore if any larger chips or scratches occur.

Appears there is a fair amount of frozen grey getting ordered. IOM Green and Brooklyn Gray appear to be very popular as well.

Seems like someone has even ordered an AWD version? I wonder how the bi-color wheels would look..I can't see myself going darker than grey on the wheels...just a preference for the traditional look

I keep telling people that it doesn't look the same but you know you have people that think they know it all even when they haven't owned a factory frozen paint.

Love this color. My only question is how do you do paint correction on it? I know some will apply PPF, but doesnt that give a shine on top of what is essentially a mat finish? And polish and wax are out. So what if you get a thin scratch, or rock ding, or hard water spots, or any of the other offenses car finishes are prone to?

there is PPF specially for matte paint.
Also there is special ceramic coating for matte paint.

it is not that difficult anymore to maintain frozen color, only thing is if you really get a scratch one you have to repaint the complete part.
Also then it's difficult to match the color and you may see the difference.
