How rare is 2014 Frozen Gray ext with black/red int.?

[lastna]

Found a car '14 with 42k miles. The stitching inside is all red. Lovely car. How rare is it? How many units made in 2014? Thank you in advance.

I assume that is a BMW Individual build car as you don't see many with the two tone leather with contrast stitching.

Looks like a decent spec. Good that it's got the B&O too.

Thanks for the response. Any way to tell if this an actual matte paint on the outside and not a wrap. Also the black wheels, exhaust tips came with the car and not put on after?

That's a really unique and cool spec. If you're looking at pics online, check the door jambs, the trunk lifter arms, and under the hood for a different color. Those are areas that usually won't be wrapped. I'd be willing to bet it's genuine BMW Frozen Paint through BMW Individual. That looks like thousands of dollars worth of customized leather and deviated stitching through BMW Individual, which is usually accompanied by Individual Paint.

Beautiful spec and BMW individual touch 👍🏻 my 2014 M5 is Frozen Blue, there's a special sticker in the engine compartment:

That's the first F10 I've seen with contrast stitching other than white. It looks like different colors was an option. I wonder why more cars weren't ordered this way.

Unless it was ridiculously expensive to do which I'd have no doubts about.

Cool car it is! Would it hold better value than others? The price is around $42 with 42k miles, two previous owners. Each kept it for around 3yrs.

I think it would follow the same depreciation curve as other f10 m5s, but I would imagine (and since I own a Frozen Brilliant White F10 M5 I hope) a Frozen Paint car would sell for more than a standard color. You won't get the $5,000 extra BMW charged for it when new, but at least to me it was worth a little extra vs. a standard paint job.

I guess the value is retained on a higher scale to a retail buyer verus a wholesaler who may not even know or give value to the $5k paint job. In addition I am also thinking that there may be a camp of thought in the used market where people may proactively do not want to deal with the extra work maintaining the matte finish.

Hello everyone...

I ended up taking this car home. Strangely enough, I can't find any forum history on it. Seems strange for such a unique build. I don't suppose any of you have and leads on the previous ownership of this car? Any history whatsoever? It seems to be pretty solid, just in desperate need of a serious clean and detail. Any info would be greatly appreciated...

Congratz on the pick up! I actually have the same exact frozen Gray spec'd M5. I definitely think its unique and sets apart from all the other M's on the road.

Amazing! Glad to know there is another one out there...are you on the west coast? I had this one shipped east. We don't get color combos like this very often. Seems like all the triple black cars end up in Florida for some stupid reason 🙄

...let me tell you, it was a friggin saga with this car. By the time it caught my eye it had already been available for weeks. I'm still not sure how everything played out, but end result is that I got to drive it to work today 😜

I know what it's like to just miss out on a car, so I get it. If it's any consolation, it seems like they have a bunch of these in inventory. I even saw a 6spd pop up while all my mess was going on. Anyhow, thanks much...I look forward to a whole new commute!
