for me it looks so dated already in this color.

Only nice frozen color they ever made was the frozen grey for pebble beach soon after the car was launched.

I guess it?s all subjective but with body lines Frozen Black just flows nicely in person.

they should gloss black the wheels and tint up the windows, as well as the front grills. I just got mine wrapped in frozen black last week, cant say i regret it at all!

Hi, i have a protonic Black here in Uk, picked it up last week, and it gets soooooo much attention! I had BMW dealership paint the std wheels in Gloss Black, and it finishes the car off superbly! They had the new Yellow and a used Red in the dealership, but the Two tone Black really did look the best of the 3 in my opinion. I will try and post some better pics of the wheel change in next day or two.

If I were in the market, I would take one. I am a big fan of the frozen colors. Looks great!

I love the frozen black I8!

Own a frozen blue M6 convertible and looking to add a frozen black I8 if the numbers are right. Frozen paint is so easy to maintain (just soap and water, no wax) and the car never looks dirty!
