Finally! 540i in Frozen Arctic Grey
After spending countless dozens of hours scouring these forums, I decided to take a chance on Frozen Arctic Grey for my 2019 540i (replacing a Mineral Grey 2016 528i). Ordered it last September, and It arrived in Austin TX last week and...my goodness, it looks HOT. Thanks to those who inspired me with their photos...

I have a client that wrapped entire car in stealth PPF by pro-tect. Looks amazing... maybe worth a look

Welcome to the cool colour club. I've had the exact same for the past year and I love it. Do not like the pain of maintaining it though as it easily gets swirlies and scratches etc.

Thanks, i agree, the color is awesome especially in light that brings out the blue hues. But yeah, I’ve never paid much attention to the paint before, and now I’m inspecting it often :-).

Sure, here’s the details. To answer your questions, it was a $5k custom color order, approval took 2 weeks, ordered in early Sept and delivered mid-January. Interior is mocha (love the aesthetics of a relatively warm interior contrasting with the blunt exterior). Anthracite headliner.

Looks fantastic! Welcome to the Frozen Arctic Grey club
I've had my car for over a year and half and to be perfectly honest it's not very hard to maintain. My car still looks like new and I use a local car wash once a week. It hides dust much better than say a glossy black and you don't need to polish or wax it No swirls or scratches. Really the clear coat is excellent. |

Maintenance hasn't been that bad - a weekly hand wash with chemical bros matte products, but if I'm being honest, every time i drive it I'm looking for any dirt etc and using chemical bros spray detailer - but that's just new toy obsession :-)

such a cool color, but weekly handwash is probably a bit too much for me...
