Clar, may I know what color code is the Frozen grey? I found two paint codes on the internet U83/7 & 490/7 and don't know what the differences are between them. Thanks in advance.

I looked at the option list given to me and it lists both frozen gray/silver as "490" without any alphabet.

My dealer told me that the 490 was the code for special color option which may be specific to the F10 M5. So maybe the 7 is what designated frozen Gray.
The U83 code may be a special color for another chassis type? Do you know what car that was referenced from?

Both codes are correct. You need both codes to get your individual paint. Please see the picture below. Let me explain:#

490 is for just individual/special paint and then you have to spell out the name of the color.
U83 is actual Frozen Grey that is looked up later by the individual reps. There is a reason that US is hesitant to do the individual orders, because lots of attention has to be paid when handling an individual order.

My Frozen Black E90 M3 had 490 as paint code as well, and when I questioned that they explained the whole process (I am stationed in Germany so it was easy to get an explanation). FB is U91

Please see the link
http://www.m3post.com/forums/showthr...ozen+black+e90
This is from my delivery. As you can see in second pic in the link there are two codes on the stickers (490 - Sonderlackierung means Special paint and then U91 for Frozen Black Metallic)

Base price blocked off due to the disclaimer we sign and agree not to disclose the military sales pricing publicly.
