Looks best with the bicolour wheels.
Would look even better lowered on 20” bronze 1000M’.

The second last picture is the shot!
Amazing colour!!!
The config tool doesn’t even come close to showing how good it is going to look.

I like the bi-color, but prefer black on blue. Here's San Marino with black 763s as comparison.

ATLM240i , were you at Petit LeMans last Saturday?? Pretty sure I saw your car parked behind vendor row. Great looking color.

Thank you! Took it out early this past weekend to get a few more break in miles before dropping it off for PPF. I'm in Roseville, but the opportunities feel greater in downtown for some photos .

Absolutely gorgeous, Portimao suits the 2 series line so well. It’s crazy that G87 didn’t launch with this colour as an option from day 1, it would have been a no brainer.

My wife took delivery of her new M240i xDrive last month in PBM and it’s so good.

M2 looks great in Portimao!

So many great colors now available for M2, can’t go wrong.

It looks almost MBB in the shade and Estoril in dealer lighting. In any case, the bi-color and silver wheels look great. They should've launched this car with the dark metallics offered now instead of ugly pastels like Toronto, Zandvoort, and Brooklyn.

It's the perfect color for the G87 IMO, especially with the seats with red trim.

I also ordered PBM from Concord BMW. Scheduled to be completed by November 4th. Looks amazing. Love that it looks different in every picture.

Appreciate the pics Jonesing. Mine is at the port having the MHAS installed currently and I was really second guessing the bi-color wheels over the silver finish. After seeing some good pics in the sunlight my worries are now gone! Congrats and I hope to be on the road soon!

Interesting that you classified a metallic red as a pastel color (it's definitely not). Portimao is a really good blue but Marina Bay Blue is much better, which I learned when my wife brought home her MBB X3MC.
