Portimao Pictures!

yanks1 · 04-13-2022, 01:47 PM

Love this color in person... got mine mid-Feb

mattebe · 04-13-2022, 02:23 PM

Your pictures convinced me to add the Shadowline package since I also went with PB. Still scheduled for week 19 to be built but we will see how/if that changes

yanks1 · 04-13-2022, 02:37 PM

shadowline is a must.. front kidney grille, side mirrors and trim around windows plus in front headlights.. everyone has told me the black trim looks great

It does.. that is how I ordered mine. I also got the black M240i and side M badges to replace the silver one.

Portimao Blue really does suit the G42 2er really well.

e36uulm · 04-14-2022, 08:51 PM

+1 for Portimao - am loving how the color changes under varying light conditions.

meyer1son · 04-14-2022, 09:17 PM

Gorgeous color, keep the coming!!!

TJZ67201 · 04-14-2022, 09:36 PM

Here's a pic I took from the dealer lot on a cloudy rainy day. Not my ride, but damn she looked purdy sitting there!

Severecorpse · 04-15-2022, 02:00 AM

These pics aren’t helping my decision to order Black Sapphire! My favourite G42 colour is PB, but I’m currently in an EB F20 M140i and wanted a change! Looks great though guys!

VIERsr · 04-15-2022, 03:11 AM

This colour really suits the G42!
Here are some nice pictures of a PB M240i (with an intruder

)

Wanted to share a few shots of my PB M240i as well...

XC3LLR8 · 04-17-2022, 10:55 AM

Before anyone pics a color, or changes their color pre-production, I'd recommend seeing the color in person regardless the color. Some of these blues have been greatly exaggerated with post-processing.

Very true! Portimao is common enough across other newer models that examples should be out there to see, just not likely on a G42.

DriftKing860 · 04-19-2022, 12:41 PM

Just got my production number for my superman build. June build date. I can't wait!

mblaucoupe135 · 04-19-2022, 07:26 PM

Does anyone know why my pics make my car look like it is smashed? Lol. Any idea how to fix it?

Need to check if you are cropping (zooming in )in with the phone.

I you want to get closer you are better of walking in.

Had to resize to lower file size for upload so hopefully they still look decent!

Absolutely loving this car so far, if you're still waiting.. hold on! If you already got yours.. hope you're out enjoying!

Congrats on your car!

Stunning! I kept going back and forth between the PB and BG. I finally went with the BG, but still kind of wish I got the PB. Looks so nice, and I've noticed almost everyone is getting the BG on their new bimmers.. starting to annoy me, should've thought of that prior to ordering lol

These cars are amazing, regardless of colours. I've really been enjoying my time so far, has exceeded my expectations by a lot. Been going crazy ordering little things for the car loll. If you really want to change the driving experience for the better, swap out those paddles asap. Makes a world of a difference.

Anyway.. Can't wait to see more pics!!

Germanauto · 04-30-2022, 11:06 AM

Looks great.

Thunderlight is cool and call, but it's not as flashy as Portimao blue. Blue on a BMW is classic, it would be my choice.

Hey PNW240, any new pictures from that professional shoot you did?

Quentin007 · 05-15-2022, 10:40 PM

Finally, a different color than the "Thundernight metallic"
