thanks guys..... they charge 2000$ (1500 US) extra for the frozen colors here.

you basically have to live with any damage until your ready to have sections repainted by bmw or a really really good paint shop if they are to blend it perfectly

Looks great!

Could you post some more pictures please?

I ordered a Frozen Grey 4GC M Sport (+ all Carbon M Performance parts) last week (I'm from Belgium), I couldn't see the color in real life so now I'm really curious to see pictures in daylight etc

Now THAT is a nice car, congrats.

Plan to get a 440i GC next year once they've been around for a while and any new engine gremlins have been addressed

Hopefully with the B58 engine running in the 2016 340's. F30 drivers can work out the kinks for the F32 and F36 B58 future buyers.

Did you get it from Hamel BMW?

If so I test drove it back in April 2015. It was beautiful had a deposit on it and everything the only reason I cancelled because people were scaring me about the paint so I got a Estoril blue 435 GC instead.

There are some YouTube videos describing what to do best (using no wax, ...) however, according to someone I know who drives a Frozen Black BMW he pushes it through the car wash each time and he sais it's still fine.

I've ordered a Frozen Grey F36 but I do plan to wash it by hand and not push it through car wash but I always wash my cars myself, even non Frozen paint so it doesn't make a big difference I think. I'll just get the right products (BMW has them ofcourse) and it should be fine I think.

I wash it myself only because I enjoy doing so, but considering the nasty winters here, and still not a scratch to bee seen on the car, I'm not to worried about it, Im sure it can go through car washes. Ill just never dare wax it..... and i got Dr. Beasley's MP10D32 Matte Body Wash on amazon. to use as soap, probably a waste of money, but I dont mind spending the extra bit since it will last me awhile.

Awesome car!

So does the 435i GC have more rear leg room than a 3 series? Or is it basically the same inside? (maybe less rear headroom due to the sloping roof?)
