Only someone with like an S85 in an E30 M3 is going to deal with true "Frozen" Paint. Shit's expensive iirc and pretty maintenance heavy. Not many here could afford to nor would want to.

I think Mercedes has it on their "black" editions

not sure if the video I embedded is working but it is the BMW paint guy explaining frozen paint. If they called it matte finish, customers would see it as lessening the vehicles value. By giving it a more dignifying name, the person who buys it will feel they have something unique and "greater" than the other m3s. The people who drive the cars and enjoy them, the real BMW enthusiast, the enthusiast required to maintain the paint finish, will likely not be the people who buy these.
Rather than spray a matte finish and call it a more valuable car, why didn't BMW do another csl inspired package? Strip an m3 down a little, give it a bit more power, more aggressive suspension? That way your targeting the enthusiasts who enjoy driving the car and it becomes MORE of a drivers car rather than less? A day at the track, an autocross, or a few hundred miles on the interstate and your gonna be sending the bumper off to be painted.
