I find this really surprising considering the popularity of frozen dark grey. RoCars has that super popular video on YouTube featuring a FDG M3. I wonder why they didn't make it one of the featured frozen colors...

FDG has been really popular, but there are a number of reasons they may have discontinued it, unfortunately we will never know their reasons.

I will probably end up ordering IOMG anyway, but I did have some interest in dark frozen grey so I was weighing my options. I'm not in a rush, so I don't mind waiting as long as it's similar to what others have experienced. It'll be like Christmas day when it arrives!

Here's a IOMG available in AZ, no wait, no price increase.

Looks gorgeous, but it looks like they require a local buyer (why?) and it's an automatic. MT is a hard requirements for me!

As others have said here, run, don't walk, to another dealer. This one is either ripping you off or ignorant to the pricing. Either way, why would you want to give them your hard earned money.

I realize things might have changed in two years, but in 2020 I ordered an M550i in Rosso Corsa. (aka Ferrari red) Cost of my individual paint was $5000.00.
