Some photos I took at yesterday's Caffeine & Octane car meet (it was ///M day). Some pics with a friend's E30 M3 (1 of 3 that he owns) and then a couple of pics showing the tricks that Portimao Blue plays depending on sun vs. shade

Man portimao is a beautiful! Makes me question my color choice every time I see someone else's car in a different color while I wait!

A big, wet Frog nose. The rain has been endless for over a month. I think. It feels like months at this point.

If it makes you feel any better, this was last week .. and my car's a month away from its journey home from PCD.

That brings back so many memories. Perhaps you should consider stopping off in Kalamazoo on the way north and swapping winter tires on. :-)

Im have way through this thread so far and have yet seen the IND gloss black or CF BMW logos on hood or wheels lol I guess they are not that popular! If anyone comes across any good shots of an G8* especially IOMG hit me up. Im trying to decide if I should spend 400 buck on something that nobody will notice or like lol

I have them on order. The issue right now with the roundels is IND supply.

They enhance the appeal, even if others don't notice. At least you know.

Did you go with the CF or the gloss black? I think if I get them ill go with the black as they will go better with the IOMG. What do you think? Im looking as well maybe to get the body colored reflectors..... I might go with the honeycomb set for the rear!

Are these the gloss black ones you're referring to?

I went with the original. I have FDG on order, and I like how the blue pops. I also purchased the Acexxon reflector insert set. I went with the horizontal slat instead of Honeycomb. I just think it looks cleaner.

Wow!
Stunning!

Is it really that green, almost teal-ish, in the brightest and most direct sunlight IRL or is the camera playing some tricks?

It looks almost as Long Beach Blue in the brightest parts.

I know there is som green metallic flakes in the paint so it makes sense, but I have never seen PB in such bright conditions my self.

Look spectacular though

The phone camera could be playing some tricks by exaggerating the green effect a little, but PB in direct sunlight does those sorts of things on different surfaces. Again maybe not as green as some of these pics show it.
