BMW just launched in the United States the Frozen Black special edition of M3 coupe. The key distinctive feature of the BMW M3 Frozen Black is its matte paint job, that the manufacturer calls an “exterior paint with a deep metallic luster”.

Besides from the dark exterior finish, the new special edition M3 features GTS black wheels, red brake calipers, and gloss black exterior trim elements. At the interior, the M3 Frozen Black features an Extended Novillo Leather upholstery with unique red-contrast stitching.

The M3 Frozen Black is BMW’s second special edition model to come with a factory matte exterior paint. The first one was the BMW M3 Frozen Gray which made quite an impression when it was first launched. The BMW M3 Frozen Black is priced at 79,650 USD, excluding the $875 Destination & Handling and the $1,300 federal gas guzzler tax. BMW says it will only build 20 units of the M3 Frozen Black coupe.
