The artical says BMW want to the be first to offer the matte finish, well they can't. AMG has been offering it for a while, but from what I hear the BMW paint has more texture to it and is more of a "3D" paint.
Well, from the article it seems that's what BMW is working hard to fix, the price and practicality of it. If they could accomplish that I'd love a matte blue car. They also say it won't be available any time soon. Sounds like they still have a few bugs to work out. Here's to hoping it's sooner rather than later.
