How come you don't have the carbon fiber trim on the steering wheel but you do on the rest of the interior?

Probably aluminum anthracite trim looking like CF in photos

I have the Individual Aluminum. It has a similar gloss finish to the carbon but a little bit different look. Especially when the sun hits it.

I always wondered how this would look? It's great!! I didn't have the nerve and when CF trim, figured it would line up good with my exterior CF package> and I have no regrets. But your spec looks great.

How does PB hold up against TB?

More vibrant in my opinion. The lavender/purple hues you get in PB aren’t present in the darker TB.

I personally can't stand the sight of TB. Love PB!

TB is very dark. I mean VERY dark. I think of it as the blue that someone who loves black cars would get. Some people love it specially under direct sunlight it pops and shows some nice flakes, but it's not something I would get on an M3/M4. Maybe on an X5 or X7.

Here's PB vs TB under direct sunlight. That's the brightest you would see TB. I think you lose the contrast against the gloss black and CF when you go with TB on the M3/M4.

Anyone have the BMS front mount intakes? Would like to see how the blue filters look with Portimao.

RACE M3 · 11-16-2022, 10:47 AM

I love how dynamic the color is! Is it light blue, dark blue, purple? It’s all the above!

RACE M3 · 11-16-2022, 10:50 AM

How close of a color match are the ind amber replacements? Debating having mine painted locally

The seats look so lost without the door panels. They really cheaped out on the '23s
