I'm thinking of ordering a frozen gray M5.

My biggest concern is resale given all the issues with repairing Frozen paints (inability to buff, remove scratches etc.)

Would it be difficult to sell a year from now?

 

If you destroy the paint in a year. You abuse some cars! I personally love the colors. A full clear wrap would solve any paint concerns

 

I'm not a fan of the look to begin with. I sure would not plan to flip that "radical" look w/o expecting to take a big hit.

 

My advice is to pick a gray color you like and satin wrap it... You get the best of both worlds.

 

^This.

Personally, I just don't see the logic behind BMW's frozen line of cars.

1) They cost a lot more.
2) They require special cleaning attachments i.e. more of a hassle to clean.
3) You will be reluctant to drive them because of #2.

M cars are the type of cars you want to drive everyday without worrying about paint and how you're going to clean it. If you want something unique, rather go for a BMW individual colour, but please refrain from going for Frozen colours. It's all marketing hogwash that deters the driving and ownership experience of a M car.

 

Definitely worse. Seen some Mercedes midnight edition sitting on lots for a while (matte or satin black whatever it is))

When I ordered my c-coupe I considered the Edition 1 except it would only come in matte black which was a deal breaker because it'd be impossible to clean and destroy resale.

 

The paint is so soft on the frozen cars that if you ever tried to remove the clear bra it may take some paint off with it. Along with the fact that a "clear" bra actually has shiny aspects to it, which would distort the color of the matte paint. You literally cannot do anything to protect it besides wax, which doesn't do much to prevent rock chips etc.

 

Its a fad. Not a long term runner.
