M5 Competition - Individual Frozen Dark Silver / Aragon Brown

ljb · 10-04-2018, 04:31 AM

Taking delivery on Saturday, first Individual Competition in Australia.

The colour is just as I hoped, really shows the lines of the car. Have not seen it in person yet, more pictures to come on the weekend!

Rims were a order error (thanks BMW) and will be swapped to M789 Y-Spoke Competition rims in the coming weeks by my dealer.

Every option ticked apart from night vision.

+$270k (Australian Dollars)

Looks awesome! Congratulations!

Nice car, paint needs protection from the off, or a nightmare to keep looking great, wishing you a great day on pick-up, drive safe.

You could ceramic coat it or go Clear rap which would be best but not cheap.

Go with XPEL stealth for paint protection. Installer here in Germany told me the normal ceramic coat would mess up the frozen look

Awesome color combination! They have that same combo sitting at the Welt on display. That frozen silver is even more gorgeous up close😃

Miko M · 10-07-2018, 06:58 AM

Congrats, looks beautiful!!!
I want mine next car to have individual color but, boy those this frozen color take mine attention.

+1. I am doing full car wrap with Xpel Stealth wrap in two weeks. You can also Ceramic coat the Xpel Stealth for ultimate protection but that is overkill and I will probably just ceramic coat the wheels for ease of cleaning the break dust.

Oh ok, that's a good idea actually. I never considered coating the wheels🤔

Great combo!

Greer · 10-08-2018, 06:28 AM

Looking good.

KEMAHK · 10-08-2018, 10:12 PM

One of the best looking M5s I've seen to date. Perfection.
Enjoy in good health.

Docflyer · 10-12-2018, 08:54 AM

Beautiful combination. New member here. Ordering similar color combination. Was wondering why pay for Matte paint finish when you could just order regular Donnington Grey and cover with Xpel stealth and get similar look without the cost of both?
