Frozen Black and Gray F10/F11 Coming. Frozen Black F10 Spied?
BIMMERPOST NEWS F10/F11 5-series Frozen Black and Gray Coming Beginning in March, frozen black and frozen gray matte paint will be offered on the F10 sedan and F11 touring. This will represent the first time that BMW is officially offering the matte paint options for a non-M car. The two matte paint options will be available with the F10 and F11 M-sport packages and will be available on all models of the F10 and F11. The special paint option will not come cheap however, estimated to be 3300 euros. Related to this, below is a photo of a recently spotted matte black F10 5-series sedan. Could this be a BMW prototype of the upcoming matte paint option? Official or not, it gives us a preview of how the F10 will appear in frozen black paint! Sources: Bimmertoday and Autojunk

I doubt that many people will choose this option, especially in a non-M. but I'm all for having more options

it might just be the vinyl, there's loads of them about in the UK. Not a big fan to be honest specially when its a non M model!

Dunnoh, but a 5 would be a nice ride in any color.

Being a detailing fanatic, I see no joy in these matte finish paints.... They always look the same, dirty or clean. I guess for some that may be the advantage, but for me, nothing beats the look freshly detailed gloss paint.

I think it's ridiculous. It looks unfinished. But what do I care.

These colours are confirmed by BMW. As of March you can order a few models in Frozen Black and Frozen Gray as a 'sonderwunschlackierung' optioncode 490. I think it's awesome!
But this is probably a carwrap. It's very popular in Holland at the time... |

(i) if you mean the owner's profession is quite literally "a comedian" - so a man who earn's his living telling jokes, starring in a TV comedy show, etc. (ii) or if you are having a crack at his taste in paint finish - as in a school boy comment "ha ha, what a comedian ... what a joker" I think you mean (i) ... still ... could be either I suppose !! |

Yup.. I still don't get why people like this matte color. It just ends up saving BMW $$$ for not finishing the paint on the car.
