I did the ED/PCD with my 2017 M4 followed by 2 day M school. All great experiences in their, but yea, the wait. I'm 6 days out and I just can't take it anymore.

Great pics! Although this is what makes it challenging to look at BMW colors online. The pics in your first post outside are a vibrant blue whereas these which are indoor and have been edited for color, contrast etc, look more subdued, almost portimao like.

You ARE the one to complain when it comes to Portimao Blue buddy!!

I still have hope that BMW will offer this on the M xDrive!! They can't be charging me $4,100 just for the extra traction to win stop light races
Worst color ever lol.

When you see them in person, they are pretty different.

My thoughts exactly. I don't get it. Portimao is just a readily available colour for the base 3/4 series, so why put it on the M3/M4 as well?
They should've just given us either Marina Bay or San Marino and called it a day.

Not a fan of Portimao myself either. It can look good in certain conditions, but it can also look rather dull in others from what I've seen.

AwesomeM3 posted this photo on the forum at some point with a MMB M5 and SMB M4 next to each other.
SMB seems to be a bit darker and more purple to me. They're very close, but I'd say SMB personally wins it by a slight margin for me.

I'd fight a bear to be able to get delivery in DE and drive around the autobahn. I have about 3500km of driving on the autobahn, and it is still one of my top memories of my last trip to Europe.

Aside from needing to address the clear and obvious competency gap between DE and US/CA drivers, I wish we had the same here.

Oh, yes. Of course! How could I miss that. I did do M Track days on the Indy 500 track, but it's still not the Ring.
