I was sold on Alpine but now I’m leaning towards Portimao.

SMH. I can’t decide, but this build looks great.

You are welcome. I do love PB and FR. Makes the build more jazzy…lol

I you have done white in almost all your cars, then just take a chance on the PB. I dont think you will regret it. Sometimes you go against the flow so you can see a different perspective and stand out..lol

I was supposed to last week, but I’m going to visit a local dealer later this week who has an i4 in Portimao. Obviously not an M3, but I can at least squash this condundrum in my head. Lol

Here's Mine. Fresh on the ground off the delivery truck to my house.
B Pillars still protected.
Surprisingly, it is the first M3 with CCB's in all these Portimao Blue picture pages.
This is from last Thursday when it got here. I have already replaced the rear lower black trim with Carbon Fiber since this photo. Didn't want the winglets behind the tires, so aftermarket for those.
Paid to have the Dealer do the Eibach Springs for the front, because I didn't even want to see it that stock gap. But, they charged a lot which I financed, but I griped about it and they Comped the Ceramic Window tint and delivery to my doorstep.
I have seen Portimao look all kinds of shades in photos, but this photo represents what it looks like in real life well. I was in shock how great this color is in person. This is in very bright Texas sunlight BTW around 5:15pm.

Galandel · 08-28-2023, 11:43 PM

41 miles. All exterior mods done except the Edelweiss Wheels. I think.
I bought the painted reflectors, but think the amber which I usually don't like doesn't look bad since the calipers are gold. Decided to skip for now, but will probably do them when the front is back off to do the engine bay mods after Run in.
Ready to go to Decon, Paint Correction, Full car PPF, and Ceramic coating exterior and interior tomorrow. Have to say goodbye for a week.

Amazing outcome. If there is a mirror index out there, it’s a 10.

M3_Dust · 09-10-2023, 09:29 AM

Excellent thread would read again 10/10

I got my M4 a few weeks ago, got all of the windows tinted, the majority of the car is PPF'd and my detailer just finished applying two coats of ceramic. Wow what a color and what a car to drive.

I'll be starting my build thread soon as well since I have parts waiting in my garage.

I think I'm gonna get through the break in first before I start modding though.

Beautiful spec, congratulations!!
