BMW is touting its new-found fascination with the “Frozen” body color—last year’s ‘Frozen Gray’ M3 (of which only 30 were made and sold almost immediately) serving a prime example.
BMW’s feeling frisky again this year with this very limited quantity M3 Frozen Black—officially known as the 2011 25th-anniversary BMW M3 Frozen Black Edition Coupe. In addition to the gorgeous, deep-matte paint and every luxury a stock M3 boasts, the M3 Frozen Black coupe sports extra amenities like BMW’s own Extended Novillo Leather (i.e. additional acreage of plush, red-stitched, black leather) package, black GTS rims, and chromed-out exhaust tips.
Powering the soon-to-be iconic M3 Frozen Black 25th is a stock 4.0L V8 that grinds out a brawny 414 horsepower/295 lb-ft torque and, staying true to M3 legacy, boasts a 7-speed automatic (with manumatic functionality, naturally) tranny that’s mated to rear-drive. Oh, and it rip-roars from 0 to 60 in a scant 4.5 seconds.
Nonetheless, it’ll probably come as a real downer to know that, as of June 16, all 30 of these babies are gone, too. However, fret not, BMW will soon begin mass producing ‘Frozen’ edition coupes in several other colors.
