Checkcaptain · 09-28-2009, 07:52 AM

Here are some pictures which I took on the IAA!
Enjoy...

MJC///M3 · 09-28-2009, 08:45 AM

gorgeous!

zenderm3 · 09-28-2009, 09:03 AM

Great colour - would it be hard to maintain?

MMMorish · 09-28-2009, 09:48 AM

I think the M3 would look sick in that colour.

dillon733 · 09-28-2009, 12:25 PM

Frozen Grey FTW
IMO the best the best color i have ever seen on an M6. and probably one of the best colors ever released by BMW.

anthony @ eas · 09-28-2009, 01:08 PM

Awesome, I can't wait to see it.

That's the Macarena of paint finishes... it seemed like a good idea at that time.

To my eye it looks like Space Gray, left out in the Florida sun for 5 years without a coat of wax. I thought only old GM cars developed a patina like that. I guess it makes sense for those who prefer pewter flatware over sterling or tin over aluminum. But it's not for me.

If I wear that, and I drive that car, there is no way I can't get laid at Comic Con 2010!!!!

Well, I thought it looked like a German pimpmobile interior, but to each his own. Maybe Luke will like it.

I wouldn't go so far as to call it retarded, but I definitely think the matte look would grow old after about 1 month. Good luck selling it...

SlammedR8 · 09-29-2009, 11:47 AM

that looks awesome!

ersin · 09-29-2009, 04:23 PM

Hey, no orange peel is showing!

Sedan_Clan · 10-07-2009, 02:06 PM

I like it!

Checkcaptain · 10-29-2009, 08:17 AM

Picked it up in BMW World last Friday.
Guess after receiving all mods it will be a beauty...

SlammedR8 · 10-29-2009, 08:38 AM

awesome
looks great, it needs matte black wheels BIG TIME tho

Moxie · 10-29-2009, 09:18 AM

Looks great - Congats

!Xoible · 10-29-2009, 09:51 AM

wow looks good man! i'm sure if you take some nice pics with good PS work you'll blow that M6 away! man congrats

mkoesel · 10-29-2009, 09:52 AM

Congrats on the car.

What was the price for the paint? And did it include the "Edition" black wheels (and other things?) or were those seperate options?

signes · 10-29-2009, 02:16 PM

Looks fantastic, will be curious to hear how the paint holds up. Post more pics once you get the mods done.

FSHNGRY · 10-29-2009, 02:22 PM

+1

Space grey is my favorite color...the color looks great.. but how is on day to day usage? how would you go about cleaning that color?

argonboy · 10-29-2009, 05:11 PM

Congrats.

I was also curious about the edition options. Exhaust pipes chrome (not edition), but "edition" wheels, grilles not even sure if the middle is black or not. Anyway, 1 of 30 wouldn't surprise me if they let you order Individual anything.

Did you get this one with DCT?

Those wheels are a separate option in this case.

Best regards,
