Get this guy. It's powerful enough to get water out of small spaces and if you give it to your wife to blow off the deck or something, you wont be pestered for at least 20 minutes until the battery runs out.

Yeah, I use it on the car for the most part but sometimes it doesn’t get it exactly like I would like it so I have to come back just ever so slightly by hand

But still, it really is the only way to do it

Twilight Purple
Grigio Telesto

Some of those colors are very sweet and many would be happy with a lot of them, just not sure how accurate these rumors are.

Voodoo blue Java green or twilight purple might be just enough to sway me to the M2 from the Z4. I am still having a hard time deciding and a wow color can make the difference

Java Green looks awesome and would be very different. I am not sure I could pull it off though. The other two? Heck yeah!

If you’re extremely lucky, it will be available for the 2026 model year

I ordered my MY24 in frozen portimao blue w/cognac interior and I’m excited. Dealer has an allocation and I’m glad I got on it. Purple would be nice though.

That sounds like a nice combination. I like the blue and the gray in frozen. I haven’t had a chance to see the blue when it was clean. The one I saw I had dirt all over it from transport.

Would BMW offer both Metallic and Frozen Portimao in the same model year?
Should’ve stuck with the FPB man. I just placed my order and I cannot wait for it. Such a sick color and really makes the lines on the car pop!

OP, I haven’t seen either in person yet. They both look great imo. Just really allows the body lines and shape to stand out. This video by RBR really sold me on it. My intitial order was BSM.

I just watched that video again… You’ve seriously got me thinking… 🧐

Damn….both sweet. I like how Fire Red does not seem to have a little orange in it like Toronto Red. More of a true red.

That voodoo blue will look bonkers. I think highlighter colors look best on this.

I don't get the M2 color options either. Most very boring. The 2 best BMW colors are Portimao Blue and Adventurin Red. Neither are options for the M2. The Portimao in frozen is a $2300 option , but I have concerns about frozen care and where I live it would melt in the summer in no time.

“Melt?” ^^

Everybody uses the “Where I live” excuse..

Colorado is pretty harsh on vehicles.

If Voodoo Blue, Fire Red, and Twilight Purple are indeed options for 2025 I have no idea which of those 3 I would choose. Maybe Twilight Purple?? Since there are cars out there in different shades of blue or red?

Having had a Portimao Blue 3 series, I thought it was the best blue...until my wife brought home a Marina Bay Blue X3MC.
