Getting those break-in miles when the weather is good.

Beautiful car man! I'm so torn between Portimao Blue and IOMG. I wish we could have both, haha. The red interior on Portimao Blue exterior looks sick!

Thanks! Yes, this combo sold it for me. But IOMG is a head-turning color and when paired up with the Tartufo (for that luxury look) or Kyalami Orange (for that sporty look), you cannot go wrong!

Good luck with your decision.

Picked up my new 2024 M3 PBM w/ KO interior at the end of January. Had PPF put on the front end, car ceramic coated and the windows tinted. Working through the break in miles and getting used to MT after being away for 3 years. Overall, loving the color and interior combo.

Hi - I'm looking at order an M3 soon in Portimao Blue with these same wheels, and am debating which interior color to go. Are you able to post a few photos of the interior with doors open, to see how the int/ext match on yours?

She's a dirty girl after weekend rain and pollen, but this should help give you an idea.

First time BMW owner here! Switched over from a 2020 Lexus IS350 F-Sport and definitely not regretting that decision at all.

2024 M340i in that beautiful head-turning Portimao Blue Metallic. Already tinted the windows, and added a front lip, side skirts, and a new spoiler.

I'm thinking of adding quad tips or maybe swapping out the stock exhaust for the Valvetronic exhaust. Decisions, decisions lol

Congratulations, Chris, on the beautiful M340i. You're posted in the M3/M4 area, though -- I'd suggest a visit to the 3 series G20 forums.

Thank you! I appreciate it!

Subtle tint for heat rejection (55%)

M3_Dust · 03-30-2024, 12:21 AM

6 months of ownership and 8k good miles, I am in love with my car.

Pool Shark · 03-31-2024, 07:42 PM

Despite my ownership being half the time and a much smaller amount of mileage driven compared to M3_Dust --I fully agree that this car is amazing (performance) and gorgeous (come on, it is Portimao Blue!!), so it is quite easy to be in love with this car!

Gberg2119 · 04-03-2024, 08:50 AM

Break in service complete!

I love the Apex wheels but it’s time to put the summers back on. Not looking forward to cleaning the 826m’s.

I'm local HSV as well, who did you use for PPF/tint?

Not very picturesque but I struggled to find any Portimao Blue with 1000M images. If you've been searching then you’re welcome!
