Looks stunning! Don't usually like frozen paint but this really brings out the lines in the F80.

Frozen silver (or frozen Silverstone as it should be called) is the best colour BMW do IMHO.
That looks stunning although the pictures are heavily processed, in real life the finish really does pick out all the lines and curves of the car. It also changes hue depending on the light conditions.

Yes I know the official name is frozen silver which is silverstone base paint with the BASF satin lacquer applied rather than a standard silver, I had a frozen silver edition e92 M3.
Hence my point about it changing hue like the standard silverstone does depending on the light conditions it would go from a white silver to a light blue silver, which I think is great. Beautiful car.

As a fellow San Diego BMW owner, congratulations and welcome! The car looks immaculate and great shots of it! Frozen Silver fits the F80 so well, arguably my favorite! If you aren't a BMWCCA member, I encourage you to do so. The San Diego chapter has a lot of activities and a lot of members. I've met some great enthusiasts through the club. Would love to see this car at autocrosses, car shows, club drives, tech sessions, and social events. A yearly membership is $48 and you'll get a monthly Roundel magazine in the mail, weekly Roundel online editions, bi-monthly chapter newsletter, plus club discounts on parts and labor with BMW dealers and independents. If you do join, you can use my ID as a referral: 507641
