Guess I never noticed it before! It is a stark contrast compared to the M3 when seen from that photo you took.

It is indeed--- thanks.

My first M car was blue (LeMans on the E39 M5) and this being my latest (11th) is also a shade of blue.

This Portimao really pops in the sun but also in low light levels. Its fantastic to look it.

Looks good! Now I can envision PB M3 tinted.

Stop taking pics below belt line and it will look lower.

Portimao Blue in person doesn't suit the car very well IMO. Marina Bay Blue would've been such a better choice. PB is just a bit dull and makes the car more cumbersome than it needs to be, especially from that front end. I think a classic black or darker shade works very well with the G8X.

I agree, PB is nice but not great.
In my opinion:
