Congrats on your order! Don't worry about exclusivity of Portimao. I think it's an awesome blue and is well suited to the lines of the G80. I totally agree w/ you that Yas Marina is terrible. I was so looking forward to getting a blue F80 until I saw Yas Marina in person. To me, due to the highlights in the clear coat, it just made the blue look faded... almost like the car had old paint with the clear coat deteriorating. Most of the yas marina pictures on the internet look nothing like the faded blue that it looks like in real life.

Portimao OTOH, looks fantastic in real life and will look perfect on your G80.
