I love it! But haven't been able to enjoy it. I took it out of the dealership and drove straight to the PPF shop for a full body wrap, ceramic coating (including wheels and calipers) and 70% tint all around (including windshield).

I'll see it again by next weekend if all goes per schedule (hopefully sooner).

Good thinking! I also drove it from the performance center straight to the PPF shop and did the exact same as you except for 35% tint instead of 70%... Oh and I got the calipers painted too. It took almost 2 weeks in total but I caused a 2-3 day delay to make a decision on whether to do stealth or standard PPF!

I also had a difficult time deciding between clear and stealth. Thought I'd get tired of stealth, so went clear. I had been thinking about it for some time, so I was quicker to decide. I love the look though!

This morning at Angeles Crest Hwy. Way too much fun driving manual in the twisties.

Love seeing the pictures of this color and your cars, but it’s not helpful!! Stuck in 193 status.

Just took delivery!!

Trading in my F10. Not gonna lie, G80 comfort is on par with F10.

Managed to double distance since break-in 2 months ago

Pprior · 06-14-2022, 10:34 AM

Does anyone have a Portimao blue with ceramic brakes?

I despise BMW brake dust and am strongly considering ponying up for the 8K option. Wanted to see one if possible. Can't find much info on them in general, but I hate brake dust and I also hate rusty rotors so I might go crazy and just spend the money.

Is that the M Performance front splitter with some blue reflection from the car's surface?

Spiffx · 06-18-2022, 06:23 PM

Still at PPF wrapping, ceramic and tint.

My G83 PB, tartufo finally made it onto a ship!! Can’t wait to post my own pictures so I can stop drooling over yours!!

A little late to the party, but finally joined the PBM Parade! Picked her up on June 6th and I'm slowly breaking it in (halfway there though!). Ivory White interior with Individual Piano Black trim.

The amount of brake dust is insane! My wheels look bronze

You're gonna need a literal armory of brushes to keep our 826Ms optimally clean.. it's hard work but this is the life we chose! I'm actually considering getting mine powdercoated bronze or pale gold. I was a Subaru guy in a past life and I can't help but wonder how the blue on gold esthetic would be on my M3.
