My PB G80 is on its way right now too. Will probably drive the car up to Austin (live in Houston) once I get it to drive on FM 2222/Highway 360. Enjoy man! |

Anyone have any pics of PB over Fiona Red interior? I have that Superman spec ordered at the moment but still not 100% sure about the interior color choice.
Also- how has PB been to clean/detail/maintain for those of you who already had your cars for a while? Is it very prone to showing imperfections?

Thanks man! 360 is great and Limecreek road over here is nice as well. About a 30 min beginning to end over lake travis. I went with 15/12 but rubbed bad with the pirellis. I am at 10/12 now and all good.

Also, I know people love to photoshop to make their car look PERFECT in photos. For people who doesn't have it in that color and trying to make color choice. Normal photos are the best.

Here one from when I got the car, used my cell, took the pic, uploaded it and it was around sundown so no lighting to make it pop naturally or otherwise. Inside shots will definitely look different too as the metallic flake really adjusts in lighting. Here is one where I didnt change the lighting but the sun was out Cali Style and the blue definitely lightens up. If you are on the fence Im more than willing to take more or post more non adjusters. Ive seen member pics here where the blue looks so dark and thats not correct either based on my naked eye reviews.

Do not own Photoshop, nor would I know how to use it if I did. Own an iPhone and I just aim, shoot and upload. . . I do know how to crop a photo in the photo album and do have occasion to crop images. So, every photo I've ever posted on Bimmerpost, including this thread, is an iPhone original. I think the color comes through pretty true. ///AVM |

You are welcome. I littered this thread with photos in various lighting conditions . . . go back to the first few pages, incase you have not already. I have not seen all the colors in person, but most look pretty good on the forum. Doubt you can make a bad choice. ///AVM |

1. In my garage with no lighting during an overcast day. 2. Same day just outside natural light 3. Same day from the front 4. Same day with a break in the clouds clearing for direct sunlight 5. The next 3 where taken while I was getting work done at a local shop with fantastic lighting So all in all the color is fantastic and dynamic IMO. Hope this helps some! |

I loved Frozen Portimao Blue but didn't want to deal with having & maintaining frozen paint. I went with Portimao Blue and I'm planning on getting it Xpel Stealth protected which should give me a finish very close to Frozen Portimao Blue. I receive my car in 2 weeks and it'll go straight for PPF and will post pics when ready
Great pics and very close to real life I must say. In my opinion Portimao, like most colors, looks best in showroom conditions, where showroom lighting makes all colors show their best side. When it comes to outdoor & natural lighting, Portimao needs to be very clean to look nice to my eyes. I've seen some dusty or dirty Portimao 3ers or 4ers and the color quickly becomes dull & boring.

Great write up! Not to derail- what front lip and rear deck lid spoiler is that? I see you’re non carbon pack like me, and this look BOMB, brotha! Also, thank you for helping me decide on the design of the vanity plate, I have been on the fence for weeks. White star, and rest being carbon is very cool when you see your matching deck lid Pc! |

Thank you and repped. The front lip on that car is AMAZING. Are you planning to add front inlets and rear diffuser in the future?

Can't wait to see it. I am a little fearful of it as well...but I might be getting to the point where I just say screw it and do something BOLD and have a little uniqueness lol. I saw the IOMG and it was dirty and it just simply didn't do anything for me either. I feel like the metallic on the G80s doesn't seem have deep bold rich colors like MBB or SMB.

Hey gang. I defected from the Skyscraper Grey thread. My M3Cx drops into production next week and I did a last minute color switch to Portimao.
My spec: Portimao Black extended 826m blacks w red calipers Carbon interior Exec pack Laser & shadowline lights Any day now I won't be able to change anything anymore. Really struggling with black interior with red calipers or do another last minute switch to orange with blue or black calipers. The top things I care about are aesthetics and resale. Durability/upkeep is less of a concern.
