That’s funny I see the world from the complete opposite perspective

Very nice color. Congrats and enjoy.

Where do you keep your front license plates? Is there a magnetic option?

I have black wheels on all my cars. Black wheels go well with black trim, Carbon fiber, black grills etc and show dirt less, more aggressive, less executive look. They definitely don’t pop like silver wheels but I prefer the subtlety of black wheels.

Portimao looks amazing regardless of wheel color.

In the trunk?

Plain gorgeous - and the some. Congratulations!

ScottyRyan2019 · 10-21-2024, 02:35 PM

Great color choice! Now put some tire jizz on those skins!

sotexm2 · 10-21-2024, 02:40 PM

It looks fantastic! The darker color really helps the body lines pop compared to my Brooklyn Grey.

Proper front page news…

I'm just glad puppydax was able to post some worthwhile pictures

nightfire · 10-21-2024, 03:18 PM

Looks great! I almost wish I went with that color and I'd probably have the car around this time. Super delayed for Voodoo Blue as my build got kicked all the way to week 3 2025

Hey! I shoot with Sony and the lens is a Sigma art 24-70 f/2.8. Editing in Lightroom CC - no preset.

Hey, you started this thread with yours! Props!

Great color.

If I wasn't going twilight purple, that would be it.

PMB is on the short list as a middle ground color. Crazy is SPY and boring is Skyscraper gray.

curtdragon · 10-21-2024, 09:01 PM

Second best color!
I love a blue car!
I love that steering wheel!

amsg87 · 10-21-2024, 09:22 PM

Very nice, congrats ! Was not sure how the PBM would look and now I know. It's awsome

BD3 · 10-21-2024, 10:05 PM

Wow. That blue looks awesome. I love how it just sort of glows in the sunlight. (But get some protection over that radiator right away!) Congratulations.

buckybadger · 10-21-2024, 10:25 PM

Very nice looking 2 series!!

MocoLoco · 10-21-2024, 10:37 PM

Portimao with silver wheels looks so incredibly good!
