Frozen Grey & Carbon Buckets Available On the USA builder

Quote:
Here’s the build off the USA site- I’m happy With my 2024 BSM but would’ve gone frozen grey if it was available.
How many are hanging on for the frozen colors or waiting for the 2025 HP Bumps plus new colors and carbon seats?

Much appreciated! I went with the BSM with black seats and the blue stitching as the cognac leather didn’t continue past the seats and arm rest and I thought it looked at little incomplete. However, if I could’ve gotten cognac carbon buckets that would have been a different story!

Cheers!

I LOVE my cognac and am very happy with it (paired with the ZB). But I agree totally that there is a lack of continuity.

But damn those cognac seats look brilliant.

I’ve passed up multiple allocations for 2024’s. Couldn’t care less about any extra power but am holding out for Voodoo Blue or hopefully some shade of green other than Java.

I changed my order from Cognac to Black after seeing both side by side.

great build. Canadian build site still hasn't changed (not that I care any more, I held out as long as I could for a frozen choice but quite happy with BSM).

Dont hold your breath for more colors in the near future. They have already announced the possible upcoming additions to the color palette...

I ended up pulling the trigger for a 2024 m2. I’d rather have it now rather than wait. Plus there are always options later down the road to upgrade. But I probably would only upgrade to a m3 or something more powerful.

I just happened to be on the builder as my buddy is looking at the M2 as well and I was playing around with some options for him and it was right there the day and time I posted it. It was the 6th and the time stamp should be on my post.

Edit: I emailed him the build link and code too.

It’s not in the color picker - but if you go to the build your own -> m -> m2, you’ll get a random build on the top that you can customize. Refresh until you see the frozen pre builts and work off of that. I’ve seen 2 frozen colors doing that.

I've seen those Frozen colors in the wild (it was the M3, Frozen Portimao Blue I believe), and I assume that particular car was parked outside because it's been weathered...

And I'm sorry, it just looked like a dirty dusty car...

Give me a moment while I put on my flame suit first.

My frozen grey build, holding at week 7, after a half dozen delays, given that is a month from now, I'm hopeful.

To each their own, but I don't understand the appeal of matte paint jobs. It just looks to me like a car that's been spray-painted in the garage and the result obscures the lines.

Also, it's a dated look. I pass a car with a matte paint job and it's like seeing someone rocking cargo shorts or low-rise jeans in 2024.

I’m not a fan of matte or stealth either. It mutes some great metallic colors but cargos and low rise jeans are totally in right now !
