Congrats! As far as I’m concerned, this is one of the last true BMWs offered. The colors available are fantastic! Enjoy!

Fairly certain that means you need a radar detector!

Thanks for sharing the beautiful pictures and congratulations. I am glad I love the color, because I am getting the same color combination. Except I am getting the all black 791M wheels with red brake calipers.

Wireless charging is not an option for anyone on this vehicle from what I understand.

I was the same. Got the Brooklyn Grey, because it was on the lot. Would have had to wait 5 months to order the Portimao Blue, but man it looks great !

Congrats on your new car, it looks fantastic. Yes, I like how BMW has kept the AWD system rear biased, feels like a BMW should. Happy driving !!

some early Cars had wireless charging... since then it has become rare but I am not into Wireless charging anyway. MY wife's 2020 Kia Sportage has it and we have not used in 2 years... ha-ha

Congrats! Car looks awesome. Just wondering if you had any second thoughts when deciding on the Portimao Blue?
This is definitely the car I would like to get but when it comes to color it is so difficult to choose. I'm one that tends to keep my car for a while.

Portimao Blue: my first choice but also a pretty common color
Thundernight Metallic: Looks sharp and great in the shade but worried it may not age as well over time
Brooklyn Grey: Looks great in sunlight but may seem a bit dull at times in the shade.

I think you can't really go wrong with any of the colors at the end of the day. If anyone else had thoughts on color choices I would love to hear about what swayed you in the end on the color?

Thanks!

the above 3 are only colors I considered.. Love the Dark Purple but I'll leave that to younger drivers along w/the Brooklyn Gray. To me Portimao Blue is NOT common, I have gotten a zillion complements here in Coastal SC the first week. Also, I feel photos do not give it justice, looks much better in person & really pops w/this body style.

Those are my thoughts, I am keeping vehicle for for long time also

Not much to add, but it looks great. That probably is the best color for the car, but I do struggle with the black lowers, which is the only reason I might have done black had I gone with the 2 over the 4.

Enjoy it!!

I, too, love the blue. Great choice. I'm laughing that you consider the Brooklyn Gray a younger person's color. I ordered the BG with the red interior and I'm 75. I've found that the darker colors like the blue just show the dirt more here in NE during the winter. Since I presently don't have a garage, the gray is a better choice for me. Good luck with the vehicle. Beautiful photos!!!!
