G80 M3C Portimao Blue . . . Part V
G80 M3C Portimao Blue . . . Part V
Mid-morning, sunny . . . Parts I-V cover most of the natural (outdoor) lighting conditions and various times of day to demonstrate spectrum of hues associated with Portimao Blue. Indoor (showroom) lighting hues shown elsewhere . . . but who drives indoors? More natural light (more sun) ---> more blue hue Less natural light (less sun) ---> more purple hue Last edited by ///AVM; 04-21-2021 at 07:04 PM.. |

This color remains a mystery to me. When I see the pics on here I want it/gotta have it. But, then I see it in person (on a G20) and it looks so much less deep and vibrant. I'm sure it's all lighting conditions, but still perplexing.

It's a very good BMW blue a more vibrant Monte Carlo Blue, it's just not next level amazing like Marina Bay or San Marino.

I've also pulled up next to a rather dirty San Marino M3 CS on an overcast gloomy day and thought it looked pretty rough where most will agree it not only looks good in photos but great in person. I'm still leaning to ordering PB with Brooklyn Grey as my alternate/backup option. I can't justify getting an individual color this time so I'm hoping I get a good chance to see PB on a G80 before my order... otherwise I'm going to have to take the chance that it is just particular conditions that can make it look bad or I'm finally getting a non-blue car for the first time in many years.

I'm almost set on ordering a Portimao Blue G80. I've seen the color many times on the 3 & 4 series but more importantly I've seen it on the G80 M3, and every time the car was clean it looked great under different conditions. But it really looked best on the G80 under showroom lights.
I know I'll keep my G80 clean as it'll be ceramic coated and not driven in the rain at least during it's first few years... So Portimao Blue should work for me. I would've loved Marina Bay Blue but an extra $4k+ is not justified for me.

Yeah same for me. Wife has hard denied a "bright" blue though. I would consider making it a bad surprise on delivery but at $90k build, you can't really piss off the wife.
