The BMW France web site now has Frozen Orange as a color.

A new thing?

Frozen Orange was the launch color when the G29 body was first released.

Orange wasn't the launch color at least for the states, it was however the concept color

Damn. My previous car was Sunset Orange. I would have 100% gotten Frozen Orange on my Z4 had it been available.

I must say I like the look of it in the picture. Need to see it in real life of course, but it would be top of my list to look at.

It was sold outside of the US in the G29’s first production year.

I would have jumped on the Atacama yellow or frozen orange if available. In fact, I'd consider trading mine in they they became available.

I might be in the same boat...Frozen Orange? Yes. Now, I can say that now, but lets see when it actually makes it to our shores...

Frozen orange with the cognac interior is an absolutely beautiful combination and I would have considered it if it had been offered when I purchased my 2022.

So you would have selected Frozen Orange with the ivory interior?

Great fall/pumpkin color combo, while drinking a pumpkin flavor coffee and the BMW Halloween app playing at the same time. Orange crush!

When I had my SO car, I had the black/blue interior. Really worked, because orange and blue are complementary colors on the color wheel. I’d go that route, with the blue brakes.

So since they are all painted in the same factory what would the chance of a special order in frozen orange for a “fee” of course?

Remote to non existent I would think. A local paint job or wrap is probably the only option.
I really don’t know why the French site has that color option. It’s not on the UK or German BMW configurator sites

I have a better chance of winning the Mega Millions lottery grand prize.

Strange isn’t it.

I think the reaction to that color, at least in our small sample size, has been overwhelmingly positive. And yet no one thinks it will ever happen

In my opinion the majority of us would agree that Frozen Orange is a great color for a roadster like the Z4 yet the powers that be at BMW have for the most part only offered us a conservative color palette to select from.
