BMW i8 2017 Protonic frozen black edition - MSRP $155000 The defining characteristic of the BMW i8 Protonic Frozen Black Edition is its Protonic Frozen Black paint finish that BMW Individual created specifically for this model. Just that fact alone already makes this particular limited edition i8 a true special edition model. But BMW didn’t just stop there; it added Frozen Grey Metallic accents on the body of the car, ensuring that the coupe received a double dose of dark shades that help make it stand out from other special edition i8s that have come before it. About the only thing keeping the i8 Protonic Frozen Black Edition from being dressed in complete darkness is a set of 2-inch BMW i light alloy wheels with a W-Spoke design and matte-painted surfaces. The wheel set is entirely new as well.
