2012 NYIAS: Frozen Blue Metallic M3 Coupe

E92LNGCGY · 04-04-2012, 09:28 PM

Looks great. I actually like the blue better than all the other frozen colors.

antzcrashing · 04-04-2012, 09:30 PM

my favorite flat colour

did anyone notice the driver's wing mirror is bent?

Stallion150 · 04-04-2012, 09:48 PM

Fantastic! I would have loved this color, but definitely wouldn't pair it with bamboo/aluminum---that looks really off. I'd do black + carbon leather +black GTS wheels!!

My favorite of the frozen colors BY far.

advans · 04-04-2012, 10:08 PM

probably the best frozen color so far. Unless they do a frozen jerez. Maybe I can buy their clear coat and have my car painted frozen jzb!!!

anyways those are not 359s right? they look a bit...different.

dafunguy · 04-04-2012, 10:34 PM

My eyes are in love.

Blindside_137 · 04-04-2012, 10:37 PM

BLACK OPS · 04-04-2012, 10:50 PM

I like the bamboo but should have some blue on the dash like the M5

NYBulldog · 04-04-2012, 10:51 PM

For me, best frozen so far. It looks unbelievable. Imagine two-tone blue interior with blue stitching... Oh man

They could. In order to do Frozen the base paint coat has to be metallic.

One thing we've reconfirmed at the show is that the E92 M3 coupe will see production into mid-2013 and the E93 M3 convertible will end a few months after that. So, there WILL be a 2013 model year M3 coupe and convertible, despite recent faulty information from some dealers.

As for its successor, there will be no F8X M3/M4 (whatever it'll be called) until after E92 and E93 M3 production ends, so the successor model will come as 2014 model. Our full interview with BMW M is forthcoming.

I'm so happy to hear that the E92 will continue until mid 2013! that means I can order one thru the Military Sales Program as soon I get back to Germany in May!!!!

When you are in Germany look our M Flight club up.

matte/frozen colors are getting too played out...

Alen E90 · 04-05-2012, 12:12 AM

WOW

IceCold1906 · 04-05-2012, 12:20 AM

Some of you guys are crazy! I'm loving the frozen colors. They should make then a standard paint option.

m-technik · 04-05-2012, 01:10 AM

Looks good, but im wondering about the longevity of matte finishes since you cant protect them with wax/polish and I'm assuming they are more porous(?) than regular finishes.

Terraforce1 · 04-05-2012, 01:17 AM

Holy moly, my new favourite colour

Looks like matte MCB

It seems they bringing out all the colours in the frozen theme. Now for MR

I hate frozen colors. Nothing beats a well-shining car.

Difficult to take care of as well.

djosephs · 04-05-2012, 06:07 AM

Sorry but I have to agree. The frozen paint just doesn't do it for me. Reminds me of those vinyl wraps which, in my opinion, look kinda cheap.
