Frozen Bronze Colour

Hey guys hope your well. I used to own an M5 from 2013-2020. I sold it and now want to get back into one.

Ive seen one in bronze frozen colour. Looks clean. Couple of questions:

Anyone have a frozen colour edition?
-hard to maintain?
-can it be painted easily for repair etc?

Also out of curiosity there cant be many frozen bronze colours M5's in the country?

Thanks
Harry

I'd personally walk away from a frozen colour, special paint finish would need special care unlike normal paint.

My brother has a frozen finish AMG, I'd say keeping it clean is pretty straightforward - wash & dry essentially. However I believe paint repairs are likely to be trickier.

As far as cleaning and maintenance goes I don't think the frozen colours are any different to normal. Especially if ceramic coated which is a no brainer on any decent car nowadays.

And as for painting, unless you are a painter that's not your problem!!!! No good going through life worrying about the what if's!!

Yeah I just noticed that but shouldn't make any difference, the hole sweep pattern is just the opposite way round.

Good point Rosco so I guess Harry007 may have to swap them around for conformity, it's no big deal.

Hey guys.

The colour is awesome. I agree the up keep is not a major issue.

I also bought some Mr Beasleys detailing goods which are a god send.

Discs make sense, under full brake pressure they did make a serious vibration. I had the calipers done gold. So must of got discs mixed around.

Thanks
Harry
