Finally, my frozen bronze M5 coming soon!

Phatcat · 03-22-2016, 02:57 AM

Today my sales told me the car will arrive at port by April 1st (hopefully it's not a joke) and the car should be at the dealership within 10 days after. I asked for the VIN and here's what I got from BMW VIN:

Congrats!

I'm surprised few people have ordered this color. It's beautiful and it's also the least expensive frozen color.

Congrats! its a beautiful build. Cant wait to see the pics!

Thanks guys, I will definitely post pix once I get the car.

I didn't know frozen color has price variations in the US, but in Taiwan they are all the same price, about 8.5k USD, while the standard individual colours are around 5k USD.

I actually inquired about the liquid silver color but BMW Taiwan didn't even want to quote it, which is fine because it will probably be some crazy price.

FYI: After I saw fellow member's frozen cashmere I tried to change it but it was too late.

CONGRATS and be sure to post some pictures!

Congrats!!

In Taiwan?? Shouldnt be hard to spot a frozen bronze on the streets.

What part of Taiwan? I'm in Xindian a couple times a year visiting.

RPiM5 · 03-22-2016, 11:35 AM

Awesome dude!

I saw a Frozen Bronze M6 Gran Coupe the other day around where I live here. It was being driven by an older gentlemen. I caught up to him to say hi and give a thumbs up, but he was totally ignoring me. Please be cooler than the guy that I saw. Lol!

The M5 will mostly be in Taichung, my X5M is in Taipei. I was hoping my M5 is the only frozen bronze in Taiwan but I saw one in Taipei recently

To RPiM5:

I will definitely wave back if someone waved at me

Fabspeed Motorsport · 03-23-2016, 04:28 PM

Make sure you post tons of pictures! This car is going to look amazing!

Phatcat · 04-07-2016, 08:46 AM

Car has arrived at the dealership, but won't be able to drive it off until next week because in Taiwan you need to wait for the plate before I can drive it on the road, so still need a few days to process the paperworks.

TrevorM3 · 04-07-2016, 09:16 AM

break that bitch in hard! sick car!

EdM5 · 04-07-2016, 09:33 AM

Very nice, combo!

Phatcat · 04-07-2016, 11:47 AM

Thanks guys, and also special thanks to E90potentialbuyer for suggesting me to go over the dealership and reach out to BMW AG directly to get my dashboard leather contrast stitching.

HXS · 04-07-2016, 03:26 PM

Wow, what a beauty! I would've done gloss black wheels instead of matte though.

Get some IND gloss bits on there and she'll be perfect.

ice7 · 04-07-2016, 03:49 PM

Very Nice

Blackraven · 04-08-2016, 05:05 AM

Good lord that is awesome =)

cassidysdad · 04-10-2016, 10:46 PM

NICE BUILD!!

M5Hambre · 04-11-2016, 12:20 AM

That is a sick color

Phatcat · 04-18-2016, 03:32 AM

Hm....I thought the contrast stitching would have carried over to the upper door panels....I guess not
