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:

Taking it in tomorrow morning for tints & ceramic.
These are undoubtedly the best PB G42 shots I've seen on the site. My car should be to me ~next week and these make it feel a little closer.

Next to last one is my desktop (for now)

Speaking of portamio has anyone seen the last episode of the latest season of top gear? They do a piece about bmw m and they have a blue m3 in it. I'm thinking it's portamio but I'm not 100% sure. Anyone else happen to know if it is?

I had cognac on my estoril blue M240, loved that combo. This is as close as I have to straight side profile

Ron’s e92, do you have a side profile picture of your car? I’m curious how the larger spoiler looks from that angle.

This is the best I have right now. Once the sun comes back out I'll get a better one for you.
