BMW does have Frozen red as a color and has used it on various commemoratives... Most frozen colors you see are merely derivatives of another color with the low gloss clear coat.

Black Sapphire Metallic = Frozen Black
Silverstone = Frozen Silver
Space Grey = Frozen Grey
MCB = Frozen Blue
Brilliant White Metallic = Frozen White
Pyrite Brown Metallic (or something like that) = Frozen Brown
Sahkir Orange = Frozen Red


I want to see the Frozen Singapore Grey color
I was actually between Frozen Signapore Grey and Frozen Black when I was spec'ing out my M5. I ended up going with FB because I didn't want to risk it.

I had Frozen Grey on my E60 M5. I risked it then (as in never seeing the color before besides in photos of E63 M6 Comp).

So FSG seemed like too much of a risk with no photos or anything.

But - I like SG a lot.. I find it hard to believe that FSG would turn out bad. Might go that route if I pickup another M5 next January.
I hv seen pics online of m5f10 in FSG, honestly looks terrible
Will try to find pics when i get to my laptop
Really? Is it individual paint or matte file ontop of SG?
Looked like paint! I am not home yet
Soon as i am, will try to find that pic
