Sounds like a cool option but no way I'd pay 3300 euros for it!
You can get your car vinyl wrapped for much less and it's reversible.

If this is true, I think my F11 will have to go back on point of principal... Paint should not be matte....

I think you've got it the wrong way round.

I've done 4000 winter miles through salt and muddy roads and achieved the same look.

Saw an M3 with this colour option just last week at my dealership. It is drop-dead gorgeous but a $5000 option in Canada. The maintenance would be horrendous and any repair/patch-work a nightmare.
To each his own...
