Portimao Pictures!

Go Cubs! (former Chicago person). Looks awesome! I am expecting my Portimao Blue M240i to be delivered here to Florida any day now.

I can't wait until I'm able to share Portimao pics... It's such an unrepresented color! Why did everyone else buy slower colors? 🤣

If I hadnt had my LSB for my current car I would have gone for this but needed a change

Another addition to the PB crew! Just picked up yesterday. Snapped a few quick shots before signing everything. Now looking for any excuse to take it for a spin. First thing I noticed was the purple hue in the paint when in direct sun. Definitely glad I went with PB.

Finally got around to installing some of the things I've had sitting around since before I got the car. Still need to put the eibach springs on.

This one from AUTOID, its subtle but a nice improvement over the stock lip.

Thank you! Making a purchase tonight lol I love that look. Hopefully installation won’t be too complicated

Super easy to install. Didn't take long at all. I found it easier to loosely start the screws to set it in place before applying the 3M tape and tightening it all down.

Made use of an abandoned Carvana location.

PP3121 · 01-13-2023, 02:44 PM

Really nice!

rad_thundercat · 01-18-2023, 12:47 AM

Scooped this up last summer, finally grabbed some pics yesterday so perfect timing!

Love it with the front grilles open

PP3121 · 01-18-2023, 09:40 AM

I have yet to see my front grill open!

MrPickles · 01-20-2023, 05:56 PM

Dat ass...

LivingInSalt · 01-28-2023, 09:16 PM

Badly in need of a wash

PP3121 · 02-02-2023, 11:11 AM

Hides the dirtiness well!

mblaucoupe135 · 02-06-2023, 10:04 AM

Wanted to share a pic of my car with the new cf front splitter...

BMWFab · 04-19-2023, 09:10 PM

Quick photo with the ID-01 CF front splitter from AUTOID! Looking forward to their new side splitters. Also rocking TRE’s CF side mirror caps.

ggggbmw · 04-24-2023, 09:06 PM

Hmmm. I don't know. I love blue cars. Between my wife and I the last 4 have been blue.

But I think Portimao is just a bit too dark. It's almost as dark as Tanzanite, especially if it's not in the sun. I love my Estoril Blue M235. And I get so many positive comments on it. And of our 4 blue cars, it's the best blue, and about my favorite blue on any car.

Thinking about a G42, and so far there isn't one color that really grabs me. At least the G42 has better colors than the M2. Went to a dealer to see Zandvoort Blue, and it did nothing for me. Way too pale. My wife gave it the ultimate diss by saying 'it looks like white'.
