Absolutely stunning!!!

jbazz · 05-19-2022, 03:32 PM

Amazing shots! I was so close to getting PB, if I had seen these first, it would have been SO hard to choose!

Kewlb · 05-19-2022, 09:49 PM

Had to resize to lower file size for upload so hopefully they still look decent!

Absolutely loving this car so far, if you're still waiting.. hold on! If you already got yours.. hope you're out enjoying!

Love the blue, saw my first one when driving over to Germany! Can't wait to see what you have planned.

From when I was in Portugal a few weeks ago..just dawned on me that Portimao Blue is the color of the Atlantic Ocean in the algarve lmao

Nothing too crazy planned, exhaust, wheels, suspensions and hopefully lots of track days! Hopefully tuning options start to come up soon too

Very nice pictures, PB looks a lot better than i tought.

Love the color and the car! The only thing holding me back are the tail lights! Has anyone tinted them out completely?

Beautiful!!

Love these pics, I placed an order yesterday for PB with shadowline. Blue is my favorite color and PB reminds me of the Sepang Blue that I had on my RS5. I see that shadowline doesn't give you blank badges, I'll have to order some aftermarket badges instead. Keep the pics coming!

vert shaper · 06-28-2022, 03:48 PM

A couple pics of my newish ride. Sooner than later I'll go find a good spot to take it and my Nikon out for nice shoot.

In these pics I had hand washed the car a couple days earlier, including the wheels. The brake dust it produces is nuts!

After one month of ownership, I enjoy making it shine almost as much as I do driving it.

Love these pics! Making the wait for my PB w/ZTK a little harder though!

vert shaper · 07-04-2022, 01:08 PM

Here's a new shot.

Kuhndog3 · 07-26-2022, 11:35 PM

One week in! Better than I hoped for.

BMWFab · 07-27-2022, 12:34 AM

One week old and at the shop just after getting the M Performance spoiler installed, xDrive debadged, and ceramic tint all around. Looking to go back later this week for springs, spacers, and downpipe install.

spansar · 07-27-2022, 05:13 AM

Cannot wait till Q1 2023 for my Portimao

How dark did you go with the tint? Looks great

Thanks! This is 20% all around, and you can’t see it but the windshield is 60% ceramic.

More pictures to come when I get it back.

Went and picked it up on Friday July 29. PCD was a fantastic experience, my wife and I had a great time. I'd highly, highly recommend it to anyone considering it.

The car we drove on the track was the first M240i I'd seen in Portimao Blue in person. It's a really pretty color. We took delivery next to another Portimao Blue M240i, and theirs had the Shadowline Package. In photos, I really preferred the non-shadowline appearance. In person, side-by-side…I was kinda regretting not getting the shadowline. Not a big deal, though.

After PCD, spent the weekend in the Greenville area, then took the scenic route home to Charlotte. Rt 276 was a blast to drive on, then Blue Ridge Parkway toward Asheville. Started pouring as soon as I got on the Parkway, but that didn't spoil my fun or photo ops:
