The Vegas red will undoubtedly look better on the M2 and there will be much crow consumption.

Yup, seen it on that and the X2 m sport. It’s better than people realize and easy to visualize on the M2. Is it the best red? No. Is it the best color of the available M2 colors? No. Will it look decent? Yes.

Many people, through no fault of their own, are either color blind, unable to visualize a color on a surface (car) they haven’t already seen, insecure, or a some combo of all three. This is how we end up in an exhaustingly deluded paradigm of focus group derived, perennially tired grays. And everyone wonders why.

If anybody is curious about what Portimao Blue Metallic (gloss) looks like for the upcoming MY25’s, here’s a few shots. I’ll definitely be getting the frozen on mine.

Portimao Blue will look nice on the M2 (not a fan of the frozen), and I really liked my PB 330e until my wife brought home a Marina Bay Blue X3MC. The Marina Bay Blue is much better imo. Portimao has a purple look to it under some lighting.

Wait, the bottom two pics are PB? That looks really nice! Same with the pics in the post before yours.

The X3MC I drove yesterday was Marina Bay Blue. Yes, it’s a nice blue. A little dark. I’m glad PB is an M2 cooler. My last Bimmer was LeMans Blue which I loved, but always thought was just a little too dark.

I may just buy a standard color and put an green or yellow PPF wrap on it.

Imola red is the best red BMW have. Classy but still sporty red!
