    Any frozen gray E30's out there?

    Anyone know of any frozen grey e30's in existence? I imagine the paint code has to be out there somehow because I've seen pics of an e46 with this color.

      I know none of then came that color stock, but I'm wondering if anyone has had an e30 repainted that color. It's pretty new right? Only available on the 2011 M3 frozen gray edition?

          That looks kind of like granite silver.

            Sort of, my car is granite silver and I think it looks much different.

                This color looks horrible.
                I think the only reason some people like it is because bmw had the limited edition ones.

                Might as well just plastidip your car if you want it to look like that. lol

                  Ever seen a frozen gray M3 in person? I have, they look amazing, and nothing like that e30 posted (although I do like that one too). You have to see it in person to get it, the effect doesn't really show up in pictures.

                    So is mine. It looks like that where the clear cost is wasted. :(

                      Close enough:



                      And IIRC the real "frozen" BMW paints are ludicrously expensive, I heard one of the wash kids at a dealer ruined a black one before delivery and it was almost $30,000 for a complete respray.

                        Is orange peel included in that 30k paint job?
