Check it out. Matte gray, no shine. Owners are REQUIRED to sign a "maintenance agreement" to never polish, wax, or run the car through an automatic car wash or even strongly rub it with anything. The vehicle's warranty won't cover any damage due to owner neglect and all exterior repairs must be performed by a BMW-authorized shop.

BMW North America

Looks cool, but probably would be a nightmare for the compulsive detailer... waking up at night in a cold sweat because you can't wax your car ever.
 
Someone already posted about this awhile back..

Sounds like one of the dumbest things BMW has ever came up with.
 
It's sexy, limited edition, and high maintenance. So BMW has found a way to charge a premium for uniqueness and sell to people who either will keep the car locked in a garage or don't know what they're getting themselves into. I love the look, but personally I wouldn't want a vehicle that I'm afraid to drive.

Must be like dating a super model... exclusive, pretty to look at, but expensive, high maintenance and always worried that someone else will touch it.

And when it gets to the stage that you don't care if someone touches it, it's time for a trade in for a newer model. :xyxthumbs:

BMW has offered limited colors forever ........ it's called Individual.

Obviously, anyone who's afraid to drive it isn't going to buy it. :dunno:

How do you figure? Sometimes you guys post without putting much thought behind it.

How is it dumb to offer a limited production color? Nearly every auto manufacturer has done this at some point ........... sheesh.

And as a matter of fact, this is a precursor to a new series of paint finishes and colors that BMW will be rolling out. This frozen gray is a market test.
 
Alright, you two lovers go have your stroke-a-thon via PM already.

It's not just MY mindset. A lot of BMW 'owners' seem to get put in this category. Dash Strokers, etc.[/]

I feel safe to say anyone else reading your earlier post would have thought you to be someone who's just plain rude. BMW owners deal with enough of the stereotypical stuff as it is. Some deserving & others not so much.

Whatever. Zaino isn't as great as everyone would like to think either. :props:

There's no perfect product, no arguments there.

As far as 'rude'.. nah.. I'm just helping "Keep Austin Weird".. (I hate that "slogan")

If you lived here then I think you'd see where that slogan fits Austin to a "T".

:iagree: with the no perfect product to be had.

I *DO* live here, and I don't find it fitting at all.

It's a bunch of Techie Hipsters trying to 'be weird'. The only weird here is Leslie.

I also find "Live music capitol of the World" misleading. We don't have a venue in Austin big enough for the "arena" bands to come through. I don't care about the crap kicking, cowboy hat wearing hicks playing for their fan base of two playing down off 6th.
 
It's not that I think having a custom color is stupid.. I'm all for custom colors. It's having a custom color where you have to sign an agreement that you won't wax your OWN car. Being a car guy, I personally don't like anyone else touching or even driving my car.
