My new 2021 Frozen Marina Bay Blue F90 M5 Comp LCI [Produced Video]
Featured on BIMMERPOST.com I'm been quasi lurking in the F90 forum the past couple of weeks (after prior forum activity with two E92's, one F82, and two F83's) and now have video to present (courtesy the good folks at Silicon Valley Bimmer and Obsessed) of my new 2021, Frozen Marina Bay Blue F90 M5 Comp LCI, with a host of additional items added to it for good measure. Best as I can tell, Frozen Marina Bay Blue is fairly rare, and certainly very rare for the F90. There have been two pre-LCI F90's in the Frozen Marina Bay Blue (a 2018 and a 2019), both in the U.S., and I believe only one other LCI also in Frozen Marina Bay Blue, also in the U.S.. There appears to be two more Frozen Marina Bay Blue F90 LCI's on the other side of the pond, one in Monaco and one in Russia. And, that seems to be about it, thus far. If I'm wrong, please let me know... curious to know what else might be out there. As for my car's build: 2021 F90 M5 LCI Exterior: Frozen Marina Bay Blue 20" M Double-Spoke Black Wheels, Style 706M with Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tires (stock aspect ratios) Interior: Aragon Brown Full Merino Aluminum Dark Carbon Structure trim Packages: Competition Package Driving Assistance Plus Package Executive Package Bower and Wilkins Diamond Surround Sound System Options: M Performance Exhaust System - Titanium with Carbon Fiber trim M Compound Brakes with Red Calipers M Performance Carbon Fiber 3 Piece Front Spliter M Performance Carbon Fiber Mirror Covers M Performance Carbon Fiber Rocker Panels M Performance Carbon Fiber Pro Rear Spoiler M Performance Carbon Fiber Rear Diffuser M Performance Steering Wheel Pro M Performance Carbon Fiber Shift paddles M Performance Carbon Fiber shifter Customizations: For those wondering about the M Performance Steering Wheel Pro on an F90 M5 with the Driving Assistance Plus package, which includes Driver's Assistance Professional, yes, the factory wheel is incompatible. So, with the help of a forum member, noushy I went the custom route to make the steering wheel work – a unique solution custom built by Car Seat Design to integrate full support for Driver Assistance Professional, including accommodation for the LED lamps over the button clusters, vibration alerts and touch interface for response to driver alert prompts. Customization also preserved the heating function under the alcantara surface and integrated both a carbon fiber trim piece and alcantara wrap-around over the back of the steering wheel. Arguably, the Car Seat Design sourced custom built M Performance Wheel is far superior to the factory option - which isn't even compatible with the car. And... of course... Valentine 1 Gen 2 hard-wired Essentially, the car has every option save for the M Driver's Package and the M CCB, two considerations that simply aren't missed on this car, at all. And there will be more to come in the near future. And here's the video: I'll add some photos shortly along with my new 2020 F83, also in a very unique Individual color, Porsche Chalk. I was a bit apprehensive at first about going with a frozen color – but I can tell you, I love it! The car absolutely glows in practically any light - in direct sun light is is absolutely amazing. At night, it is stunning. It never fails to draw attention and compliments - and frequently it is mistaken for a wrap. But there's no wrap that glows and responds to light the way this frozen paint does - it really is something to see. Enjoy the video and stay tuned for photos coming soon. -Daniel

As for my car's exhaust note, there is some much added "oomph" on my car courtesy the M Performance Exhaust system. The titanium construction and valve delete on it give a major acoustic boost over the "regular" Competition exhaust. And, frankly, it sounds incredible. Starting it up, anywhere, always draws positive attention and thumbs up. -Daniel

Kind words. We have just come back from the Scottish Highlands, we were there a week. It is truly a drivers paradise, sometimes not seeing another car for miles, on open roads, with scenery so beautiful, it is almost a spiritual experience. Hopefully back up there next month in the M5 . |

Would just love the full fat, non OPF M5 sound, blasting over these roads. My last two M5s sounded tremendous, but this one, although a truly superb car, has lost a bit of its soul and character, but i do still love it . |

I am aware from online videos of the OPF issue you speak of, but of course, it's tough to tell what it really sounds like from just a video. The clips I've seen/heard, do seem to have the exhaust note somewhat "muted." Is there no aftermarket solution for overcoming this unwanted modification? What about the M Performance Titanium exhaust? Is it available to you in the UK? -Daniel

IMO, one of the nicest colors you can get on an F90 M5. Although i am impartial as I do own one of the 2019 cars in this color. Not so sure about the claims of exclusivity as I am aware of 5 pre LCI cars in this color and 2 LCI in this color. One of them is actually only a couple miles away from me. Regardless of how many they built or didnt build, its still one of the nicest colors to live with as well. I picked mine up at the Welt in Munich and was told at the time it was a rare color but not 1 of 4 kind of rare. More like they made a few handfuls of them. Regardless, good luck with it. It certainly looks even better as an LCI model. Im sure you'll have many years of enjoyment. I had the car ceramic pro'd upon return to the states and that is a worthwhile investment for sure.
All the best

As to the "rarity" matter - I don't know that this matters much or not. It certainly is very "uncommon." I knew about your car and another pre-LCI car, and I am aware of one LCI in besides mine in the U.S. and a couple more in Europe/Russia. And frankly, I'm sure there's bound to be more cropping up sooner or later. The exposure of the color on the M8's reveal no doubt has had plenty of time to reach many people at this point, and more than a few are bound to be interested in an M5 in the same finish. I am VERY curious about your experience with the ceramic protection - how did this affect the color/luster/sheen of the car's finish? Any comparative photos, same vehicle placement/time of day/light value, showing a before and after? Perhaps something showing the process under way and presenting any "changes" in color tone/brightness as a result of the surface treatment? Thank you for your kind wishes and thanks in advance for any additional info you can share re: your ceramic experience. Regards, Daniel

I have literally seen the 2018 Pre-LCI Frozen Marina Bay Blue F90 M5 you mentioned, in person. I saw it when it was brand new at BMW Encinitas in California. It is indeed a very nice color combo.
Enjoy your LCI F90 and take care of that paint. 🙂

Beautiful spec and unique color. I've got the same M performance parts on my spec except the wheel obviously, and will add the CF paddles and shifter after delivery.
Awesome video too! |
