IMO the metallic version of the color would have been much better than frozen for the 1st editions. But like he said at the end, if they dont follow trends, they create them..

I worked very hard to convince BMW to offer individual paint colors. And the interior followed, just like how they build the Rolls-Royces. I'm surprise it took so damn long. But the up charges are way steep. I can understand that regarding the interior, but I don't understand why there's a $5,500+ up charge just for the paint color.
As in the fashion industry, it's mostly all women picking the color swatches which are ALWAYS trendy. Unfortunately as of late it seems that most of their colors resembles metallic nail polish that they choose. |

Look no further than Porsche. Their custom colors start at $5,500 (cayman) with special colors starting $2,580. take a look at the 911 charges for paint.

Boring series. Does anyone care?
Whatever happened to Munich's engineering and legendary suspension design? Motors like the S54 / S65 / S85? Steering feedback? Driving dynamics? Attributes like these built the brand into relevance. Not paint colors. Sheesh, BMW today fancies themselves as competition for Liz Claiborne or Ralph Lauren.
