How did you go about getting the 963m wheels? My dealer told me they weren't an option...
They are a port or dealer installed option like anything else M-Performance-wise. Your CA should know this and can order this with your build.

Congrats on the car - it's spectacular!

I'm taking delivery of my Portimao over Tartufo G80 Base this coming Tuesday at the Performance Center, and I'll be driving it back to NJ on Wednesday. Your story is making the anticipation even harder to take!

From ordering in mid-June to final delivery in December - my individual order finally made it home and man has it met all my expectations.

I fell in love with Yas Marina in the last generation and with so many other blues to choose from, it was difficult to pick but I decided to go with a Bold and Classy look with Voodoo Blue exterior and Tartufo interior.

Car is fully optioned out except for Carbon Ceramics and Carbon Buckets. I don't track enough to warrant ceramic brakes and at 6'2" 250, the bucket seats were out for me as this is my daily driver.

PCD was everything everyone here said it was and did not disappoint. The lead instructor Clint was amazing and being that I was solo, I took advantage of multiple runs and laps. Spent about 2 hours in Delivery and then headed straight over to Extreme Color Autospa for XPEL wrap before heading home back to NJ.

Compared to the F80, I thought I would miss the DCT but honestly I don't. The throttle is nice an linear and the AWD just eats up pavement. The F80 was a brutal monster that forced you to love it - the G80 is a refined beast that sucks you in at first drive. I felt like Jerry McGuire with "You had me at launch control"

Not everything is perfect though - with two issues:

First, the Harmon Kardon radio sucks. On the trip home, on a few occasions, I would lose all Bass from the speakers unless I totally shut the car off and let it out of standby mode for 15min. Listening to nothing but tweeters for 6 hours of a 12 hour ride was not fun.

Second the exhaust note is.. underwhelming to say the least. Now I'm not trying to recreate the sound fury my F80 with catless DPs and M-Performance exhaust made, but man the G80 OEM sound is undesirable to put it midly.

But overall this car is a very large improvement in all aspects as it related to the F80, for the exception of the grill which I'm still learning to love

Attachment 2766494
Attachment 2766495

Attachment 2766497
Attachment 2766498

Speaker upgrades.. the Alpha One speakers from Bimmertech just ROCK! Installed like 6 sets of them now across multiple cars, including a brand new X3. Night and day difference!

I also see Active Autowerke has new options for exhaust for the G8X as well. 8)

Congrats on the gorgeous car!

Santorini, Enzian and Voodoo are so easily confused they're hard to tell apart.

From Darker hue to lighter hue being Enzian, Voodoo, Santorini in that order. I know others see it differently, but I picked the middle option.

All badass colors in imo and you can't really go wrong.
I'm also debating between those 3 colors. Does Voodoo have metallic in it? its hard to tell on the pictures.

Sweet build man! The tartufo interior pairs soooo well with that blue.

Incredible wheels as well.

Congratulations! Excellent choice on the individual color

We rode the same Marriott shuttle van to the PCD. I went to driving school, while you picked up your G80. I hope the drive back was event free.
