Walkaround video added:




This is a G80 M3 in Portimao Blue available for sale at a local dealership. I went and checked it out this morning as I hadn't seen a lot G8x in person yet.

As almost everyone is saying it does look much better in person and has great presence. It's hard to capture the front in pictures but as you look at it and walk around it it's sweet!

The grille is absolutely not an issue for my taste and it really feels part of the overall design. The hood design works perfectly with the grille and the lines from hood to grille provide nice continuity and the two indentations in the hood look like a mirror reflection from the grill. I expect the CS or CSL will make those functional vents which will be awesome. A typical hood bump wouldn't have worked as good as what they've done.

I was worried that the bottom black trim wouldn't look good and make the car feel higher off the ground, but I wasn't bothered by it in person specially on this color. I know I'll be dropping the car so that'll be even better.

It didn't have the M Carbon Exterior which I'm planning to get and it didn't have the shadowline lights so those thinking about this option checkout the close-ups of the non shadowline lights here.

I'm not a fan of black interiors in general but the standard seats are very nice and comfy. I'm not considering carbon buckets. It also didn't have the interior CF trim which I really wanted to see and definitely will order.

I also saw the M4 in Tanzanite Blue over Kyalami Orange and I was happy with the orange interior. It's definitely orange but not as bright or loud as some people made it sound. I wouldn't have a problem selecting it on Portimao Blue if that's what I'm going with. The M3 does look sharper and has more presence than the M4 from the side & back. I found the M4 a little too soft and lacks that boxy shape that the M3 has.

Official PORTIMAO BLUE II G80 M3 / G82 M4 Thread

All,
Excited to share initial pictures of my pickup on Friday.

Here are the specs, and some pics to highlight a few things.
The car looks even better in person, the colors are amazing, and the initial driving experience it awesome. I have had an E90 M3 Manual for 12 years now with many years of track time, and its a completely different driving experience... all upgraded is the simplest way i can describe it.

Can't wait to take it to the track and really experience it to the fullest.

Thanks for posting those pics. To me, PB is one of those colors that actually looks better NOT in direct sunlight which is the opposite of most of the other colors. Just my opinion of course.

Looks good...very good on the black wheels...I thought I was going with the orbit grey but you may have changed my mind...

Or by the time I get my car maybe I'll buy a used set of whichever wheels I didn't go with(c'mon people, start buying some aftermarket wheels!), to use as winter wheels 😂
