One of the things I enjoy almost as much as driving my car is waxing/polishing it. |

i wish BMW would prioritize releasing the car worldwide first, then marketing the aftermarket stuff later. very frustrating from a US standpoint that this stuff is coming out before we can even get our orders in.

Yes to the contrasting stitching and M logo headrest, though I would prefer and smaller M in the backrest and a tricolor slash somewhere else on the seat.
M cars have become a little bland in this area, a little less unique than they used to be. 'The a regular' M5 does not have M logo'd seats, no tricolor on the interior except for the steering wheel and gear lever, the fenders don't look flared unless you see it next to a regular 5, the engine is not a unique (its good, but not the same). Seeing an M car used to make me feel like a kid, the same way seeing a Bentley or a Rolls would do, not so much anymore. I still want an F10 though, like tomorrow if I could, and then I would go to an interior trimmer and have the seats restitched..

I am curious how many of the frozen color owners have actually reported having issues caring for and maintaining this paint? Or is this perception based on assumption? |

Not enough M's in the name to justify the price premium and definitely too few M badges. For that much money I want to see AT LEAST 4 M's in the name and twice as many M badges everywhere. BMW dropped the ball on this one.
Also, matte black would have looked cool. I am not a big fan of frozen colors either, except for black. |

The only car I'd ever get in a frozen finish is the M3. I consider the M5 to be, still a high performance saloon, but waaaaaaay to luxurious to be garnished with such a "raw" paint scheme. If I was ordering an M5, I'd stay away from all this frozen hype and go BMW Individual all the way. I think that red looks like shit.

...and they'll probably sell out in no time. So from BMW's perspective, why stop? |

I am not too keen on frozen in colors other than black and dark metallic gray.

I agree. M is supposed to the performance edition. It suggests that the M brand is going, or has gone, the way of AMG. It adds to the dilution of the M brand caused by the offering of the M Sport Package or whatever it is called. This development is adding to my internal debate over whether I should cancel my recent order for F10 M5, for which I thankfully have not yet paid the deposit, and keep my E90 M3.
