Speaking only for myself, I think these are hideous.

sybaek9 · 02-21-2018, 11:30 AM

Totally agree...

I'm just not a fan of that color...

greekcs · 02-21-2018, 12:33 PM

Agreed, this color is deff not up there for me, and this stupid first edition is simply overpriced for no reason taking in account the color

Totally understandable. I for one think yellow cars are fugly. Its all subjective.

NoImDirtyDan · 02-21-2018, 12:43 PM

Well the quality of that picture is pretty awful so I will not judge the color, however, why would they ship matte painted cars uncovered?

sward · 02-21-2018, 12:44 PM

I've seen one irl at Frankfurt auto show. It's stunning in that color. Much better irl then in pictures

Molecourage · 02-21-2018, 12:45 PM

Well i am sure they are all sold out !!!

BMW ships there cars with a very heavy coating of wax that's sprayed over the paint. For a lot of vehicles they do this in place of shipping tape. Then when the car reaches port and goes through VPC (or whatever it's called) they steam off the wax, collect it, and reuse it.

There's a video on this process from about 10 years ago or so (I remember watching it from a few years ago). Also there's a national geographic documentary on one of the car carriers (wallenius I think), also from about 10 years ago, and all of the BMWs that you can see have this thick coating of wax.

Anyways, not a huge fan of matte paints, but seeing the cars like this definitely do not do them justice.

Can't stop laughing at how poor that colour is. Wow what a dud

georgere · 02-21-2018, 01:05 PM

I personally like beets but not on a car....

JMD · 02-21-2018, 01:06 PM

To each's own,...but there is no way I'd invest a ton of money into a car,..and the paint didn't cast tons of "light bursts" from the Sun's rays bouncing off of it!

Donington or Singapore Grey all the way!

Stepanyan · 02-21-2018, 01:09 PM

Isn't this the NFS launch color? If so, there are plenty of better quality photos if anyone wants to see the color.

btw, is the silver car at the bottom level an M5 too?

I'm sure that any of you frozen red bashers were given the keys to drive for a week zero down, doubt you would all be complaining then. Good for BMW if the market supports these limited edition models. Who knows if the F80 will have a last edition in frozen red?

Madvillain · 02-21-2018, 01:34 PM

i saw the f90 the other day ans honestly its not as nice as the f10 overall. im not biased i wouldnt say that without reason. the m5 being as big as it is shouldnt have some of those realllly sporty lines. what it looks like to me is that they took the f10 and then threw on some f80 m3 styling. its a good looking car ya inside and out but i just think the f10 has a more m5 look to it. i dont see many f10 owners going from f10 to f90 just cuz of how similar they are. for more than double the price youd have to be a dam fool to get the f90...if youre already spending that kind of money you might aswell get something different (really the samidh car overall) like the e63s.
