Love the paint, would look fantastic with a set of coils on it to drop it.

Interesting, I have the ZCP performance package also which lowers the ride 1/2" and my car seems lower than the picture of the frozen black in the first post. I find that most owners with the performance package don't want to mess with the ride height as it's part of the wheel/suspension option. I do think another 1/2" drop would look perfect though.

Is the matte finish a wrap or is it actually painted that way from the factory?

it looks fantastic, the stance is perfect IMO as is, and the M3 is an amazingly balanced car right from the factory. 90% of people I know that mod them basically destroy the handling characteristic and end up making it look like a ghetto low rider (not that theres anything wrong with that! as long as they're happy... LOL)
