Hi Guys,

Does anyone have a list of all Frozen paint options available to order for the G80 m3? I just got an allocation and my CA submitted frozen tanzanite blue as my color but bmw said it has not yet been tested on the m3 yet and will take another 12-14 weeks. I am not looking to wait that long and want a frozen individual color from factory so I am wondering if anyone has what's available to order. Would be greatly appreciated.

Frozen Portimao Blue (can be ordered on the car without individual)
Frozen Brilliant White (same as above)
Frozen Pure Grey (same as above)
Frozen Red II (no discount)

Thanks for the fast reply. Another follow up question - would other frozen paints be able to be painted on the m3 such as frozen marina bay blue or frozen pure grey or would they take the same time (12-14 weeks) as they haven't been done yet?

doesn't hurt to ask, but it would probably be on the expensive side and have some development time to it.

Edit and Froze Pure Grey is not an individual, as you can spec it from the ordering system

Frozen Red II? Don't think I've ever seen that one, any pictures?

I've seen this in person. It's not bad, but the frozen lightens up the red a bit, and it looked a touch too pink for my liking.

Yes I can see that happening.

Sorry as an aside, you have two cars incoming? Like a hers and his scenario?

Curious, what do bmw have to test with the paint?
If it's a listed paint , surely it's Ben "tested" previously. Doesn't matter what body sheell it's going on, it's the same type metal whether it's a M4 or a another bmw?
I must be missing something

I tried ordering Blu Pozzi for an M850i coupe (it was/is on the 50th anniversary paints), it was originally accepted and then I was told that the paint doesn't meet their standards so the Blu Pozzi is gone for everyone.

I have no relevant experience here, but it is my understanding that Frozen paints can be VERY hard to match should you even need to have a panel/bumper painted, for whatever reason.

Could you not just wrap whatever color you get in matte film and be about the same overall cost (unless you go individual I guess)? Then after a couple of years, just peel it off and you have a brand new paint job....Frozen Orange is maybe the one this does not apply to as there doesn't look to be something similar in standard gloss paint.

Nothing new, just makes sense to me if considering a matte paint scheme.

Further, I have 2 Frozen/Matte motorcycles and love the frozen look, but they were standard colors with no additional cost at the time of manufacture.

I tried frozen mbb. They denied it. Stuck between waiting for frozen tanzanite on ivory or going forward with frozen orange II on fjord. both with buckets and 6spd.
