Congrats on the new BMW looks awesome the frozen grey is super nice .

Frozen black owner here

Be careful on ceramic coating there are tests on the internet showing longer lasting ceramics can change the color of Matt , satin or frozen paint .

I was in a deep discovery on what to do to protect my frozen black they said soap and water but that’s not the real world either . I made mistakes .

But settled on a water based ceramic spray Jimbo’s detailing his hard as shell spray on ceramic DID not alter the appearance of the frozen paint gives my car great protection 10 minutes to wipe it on done … i use it on the rims and now the glass it works just fine and I am protecting the car and the frozen paint how it was ment to look … was not easy
Good luck

I'm jealous, I would never dare having a frozen paint color.

First impressions:

1) Car is an absolute power beast. The instant torque available at start and after 3rd gear is reminiscent of my previous Model S.

2) I've only done a few hundred miles so far but the power IMO negates any weight issues. Very planted on curves and turns.

3) The interior especially the red seats are absolutely eye popping.

4) The car is definitely a head turner. Already have had several compliments. The frozen grey really makes this car look even more aggressive.

5) I was afraid I would be severely disappointed by the exhaust note from the outside but the cold starts actually sound pretty damn good!
