Carving up 129 dragon. Interestingly enough, I was perusing the other pictures taken that day by this photographer and just a few hours ahead of me, there was a dude with a Frozen Portimao G80.

That's my dad in the passenger seat with his mouth wide open.

Quick pic when clean after 1,200 mile fluid swap . . . kudos to local BMW dealership clean-up crew.

I feel like this color isn't getting enough love.

Well, of course, color is very subjective, and BMW has many great colors from which to choose when it comes to the G80/82 release.

I am personally very happy with my decision to go with the Portimao Blue.

One thing I cannot comprehend are those who say they would not consider this or that color because it is not unique to the G80/82. Portimao Blue being one of them.

Regardless, this might explain why there are fewer individuals embracing Portimao Blue than you might otherwise anticipate.

I appreciate you guys posting all of the pics of PB. I’m a fan of blue cars and having all of the varying photos of PB really helps in choosing.

I was thinking about Aventurin Red but haven’t seen enough ‘real world’ photos to make that choice.

Keep posting those PB cars!

I'm very excited to join the Portimao club in a few months I'd love to see any pics with Portimao over Fjord blue interior.

I'm very confused by the pics of PB. In some pics it looks light and in other dark or somewhere in between. Are the pics reflective of the true nature of this color? I like the dark tones but not a big fan of the lighter tone - so have been doing back and forth on picking which color to order. Would appreciate any feedback. Also for those they have frozen PB is that on the darker end or lighter? Thank you.

I would say the hues on the right are more prevalent than those on the left, the later of which I really do not feel are that 'light.'

If you live in the desert with 360 days of pure sunshine, then you might find that to be the exception to my above comment.

Hope that helps.

It's a darker color than most of these pics let on, which is why I didn't consider it. Whenever I see a PB car on the road in NYC it blends in with the rest of the normal colors, unfortunately.

Tail of the Dragon 10 March.. Love the road; it even better when the leaves are off and you can see the up-coming corner and traffic!

Says the guy with a Fire Orange car.

PB has a good flop meaning it has a nice range of being very bright and vivid in sunlight and deep in low light. You can't say its light or dark.

i mean, you can certainly say it's not LIGHT blue. Yas marina blue, miami blue, riviera blue, all are lighter than PB.

I agree it's not a light blue but it does vary from dark to medium depending on lighting. I don't like it when dirty but it looks good when nice & shiny, which is how I'll keep my car when I receive it.

Frankie hates PB period! haha... but we all know Frankie loves loud colors and PB is not loud by any means. Heck he even hates San Marino Blue on his CS
