Portimao Pictures!

Figured I'd post pictures I've taken over the last couple weeks, also have professional photos in the works, I'll post those eventually.
Had to resize to lower file size for upload so hopefully they still look decent!

Absolutely loving this car so far, if you're still waiting.. hold on! If you already got yours.. hope you're out enjoying!

AndyTurboI6 · 04-11-2022, 08:16 PM

Very nice, indeed!

mattebe · 04-11-2022, 08:19 PM

Wow. Very nice. I have a PB orders without shadowline and with blue calipers. Now I’m re-thinking it.

The good (or bad) part of this delay is constantly rethinking what you ordered.

Golddog · 04-11-2022, 08:35 PM

Car looks fantastic. Spacers on the wheels or stock?

Re thinking caliper color? I love the red. I had blue on my previous estoril blue car and wanted some contrast!

Thank you! 13mm front, 15 rear, 13 rear would probably be ideal though

I like the shot with all 3 cars. The new M240i looks so much better in that shot than any of the others. At first glance I thought the first car was the M240 and was like what is that sexy thing at the end.. then I noticed the headlights and was like oh.. damn.. it really does look damn good.

Looks incredible, I ordered this same spec except with Cognac interior. Wondering if you would have a side profile picture?

I had cognac on my estoril blue M240, loved that combo. This is as close as I have to straight side profile

You have to at least add shadowline!

jbazz · 04-12-2022, 11:38 AM

Looks awesome! PNW240 Love the spacers and the tint!

ZacMatic · 04-12-2022, 11:46 AM

Nice job with the PNW representation in your photos

I have the same coming, but would not change it. I like that we're all a little different in our configs

Hard to hide all these trees! Hope to see yours out and about sometime!

emcee1011 · 04-12-2022, 03:22 PM

What a beauty. Spacers are a nice but subtle touch. Can't wait for mine, thanks for the pictures.

TheJerseyDon · 04-12-2022, 05:05 PM

What tints and %s are you running?

XC3LLR8 · 04-12-2022, 05:46 PM

That last pic looks like you've had an aggressive alignment done. Is that the case, or just the angle?

PNW240 · 04-12-2022, 06:08 PM

TheJerseyDon 20% side and rear, 65% windshield. Don't remember the film used.

XC3LLR8 Seeing camber or toe? No alignment done, hopefully it's just the angle! It was on a flatbed a couple weeks ago, I considered having an alignment done afterwards but decided against it. Drives & brakes straight so I don't think anything's off.

H2O_Doc · 04-12-2022, 06:21 PM

Love the color. I would worry about swirl marks.

Jonesymx29 · 04-12-2022, 06:48 PM

Beautiful! Can't wait to get my hands on mine. Might have to swap to red calipers after seeing these pics among others haha

Looked like some negative camber. When mine arrives I may take it to my favorite alignment shop and see where it's sitting from factory and maybe dial in 0.5 to 1.0 negative degrees.

These photos look great glad I picked this colour now. The BMW website does not give the colour any justice.
