Unfortunately the color will never be available for commercial or exclusive customer use as the production procedure is time consuming as is the cost which lies under 50,000 Euro to bring it to commercial purpose , which is why BMW do not offer this colour even to exclusive customers.

Space Grey and Frozen Grey matte are the closest you can get to Chrome Shadow.
Wow!

Great Info!

Its only a matter of time until someone does a custom paint job in "Chrome Shadow".... IND......cough........IND...cough
