"Behold the Frozen Portimao Blue M2!"

Lawsoc · 12-11-2023, 11:33 AM

I must be in the minority of not liking frozen colours - never have I think they make the car look like it’s had a wrap - think frozen colours have had their day.
I agree it would of been great that one of launch colours should of been a blue - like the blue colour that autoID wrapped their car.

RemoWilliams84 · 12-11-2023, 11:37 AM

Does it have a purple tint/colorshift to it, or is there something reflecting? Especially from the side, it seems to have a purple hue at an angle.

M340I///M · 12-11-2023, 12:22 PM

Congratulations on the M2 purchase, hope it brings you joy for many years to come.

I personally think the M Performance front splitter and side splitter carnards are a bit much for a already eye catching M2. The parts Remind me of an after thought or legos.

I think you should be unique and do some research be different and make it your own vs the designer’s vision. Plus you’ll save on carbon fiber prices, because BMW carbon fiber is ridiculously overpriced.

If you look at most of the M2 they look identical , let’s not get into the Wolverine claws or Edward Scissorhands side fender thing thing. It reminds me of accessories at Pep boys or auto Strauss auto parts from the lowride isle.

Hope this makes sense. And best of luck building your awesome M!

Gorgeous! FPB looks so good on the M2. Congrats!

TargaM2 · 12-11-2023, 04:13 PM

Colour looks ok, but it needs a full gloss ppf wrap. Not a fan of Matte finish cars.
Silver 1000M rims & a drop would help too.

rcouchh · 12-11-2023, 08:31 PM

Looks bad IMO. Matte/satin finishes really don't work on this car. Not to mention Portimao has to be the least appealing color BMW makes in frozen. My friend had a G82 in that color and it looked so bad in person. It's like if your car was a pair of blue jeans lol.

Car is too blocky and matte just brings out all the negatives that dark colors hide.

Looks great to me!

Disagree completely. I love the matte colors on this car. But I also like the way it looks for the most part. Can't imagine buying a car and not liking the way it looks.

Hard to see the car between all the product plugs

This color looks way nicer on the g87 than on the G80!

MP HAS is a great value if you get it port installed. But, if you buy another kit and install yourself, then there is money to be saved.

In not a frozen paint person either but to each their own.

samsamdar · 12-19-2023, 09:14 PM

Does anyone know what the status is on this color? I wanna order but it looks like it’s been delayed indefinitely

Second this. It’s available in the random selector in the builder for US- but not to actually choose from.

I contacted my CA to place an order- he is checking on it tomorrow. I’ll report back with info! If I can’t this, I’ll likely just opt in for a ZB or BSM.

I found out thru a random dealer today (was buying parts as a late Christmas gift lol) that they can’t order either of the frozen colors. BMW also hasn’t put anything out as to why they aren’t available anymore lol. Oh well guess I’m waiting!

I’m just gonna wait - I still love my OG M2 and am in no rush. Plus they’re apparently adding more power for 2025 I guess lol

Agree. The frozen pure grey is a great color, but the rest just don't look good, imo. Plus around me there are so many matte black mercedes, range rovers, etc. it's just not unique any more.

I also don't understand why they don't offer Carbon Black on anything other than X3/X5. It's so much better than Black Sapphire.
