Frozen paints are beyond played out at this point.

I would consider it heavily for the murdered out vibes, especially if you are planning to do full PPF regardless. Check out this post from a while back on a G42 with BSM getting Stealth PPF. If I switch from TR to BSM, Stealth PPF will be a move I seriously consider.

Agreed

It is not just you

It makes the car look super bland

Agree as well, it destroys the lines. I really like the design of the new M2, but this is by far worst one I've seen.

It is nice to know in advance that frozen is out and I don't need to ever consider it.

I mean, it could be the photos and lighting, not sure.

It’s quite the opposite. I’m stealth wrapping my BSM only because black hides the lines too much while stealth makes them pop out more

After 2 months of swimming pool light-azure this M2 looks like a jewel. I don't think it's the frozen, it's the darker IMO, but where black completely hides the muscles this blue is the right compromise. Maybe in Portimao/Tanzanite metallic it might be even better.

Satin finishes definitely help to accentuate body lines on black vehicles. Got a ton of compliments on my PPF’d QV and am planning on doing the same to a BSM G87 in the next few years when it comes in xDrive

They really should offer a blue that isn't Zandvoort

Non-frozen PB with some nice silver wheels would look proper

What exactly do you mean? What kind of care is required? Thanks.

A friend of mine bought one in frozen. He regrets it to the core. Any bird shit and spots from tree sap even if washed, you can see from a certain angle the spot. If you insist on the problem it gets shiny, hence spotted. Terrible paint, terrible finish, terrible look. Any clear coat offers a layer of protection and is way easier to maintain.
Yeah, a matte ppf is a different story as the car is protected. Still, for me, frozen looks like an old car that lost its shine.
I will never buy one.

I've never been a fan of any frozen finish. Guess I'm old school but I like the look of a nice clean detailed and glossy car. I love the depth of a gloss finish.

I agree. I think it would look great in Thundernight metallic.

I love non conventional colors, I’d pay for Individual paint were it available.

This car definitely looks better in darker colors! Is that because it hides a lot of the styling 🧐
