OK, I had to force myself to choose the PB vs safe skyscraper! Turning off computer.
btw, the blue looks quite different on BMWUSA website - vs videos and other pictures I've seen of Portimao. |

So, I wasn't in favour of contrasting interiors.... Ordering blue + black interior. But cognac is interesting.... Getting blue is already pushing me... Wonder thought about cognac.
Any opinions? Last edited by AlienInChicago; 03-15-2023 at 12:56 PM.. |

They’re the Radon model made by Variant wheels. Variant is local to me in Arizona, so I was able to visit their shop and speak with them in person. They’re great folks - BMW enthusiasts for sure - and offer 1piece cold forged styles with custom offsets, or 3piece fully forged custom designs. The Radon is a 1piece cold forged product. Happy to share additional detail on my wheel and tire setup via IM, if you like. Otherwise, definitely recommend that anyone in the market for wheels gives Variant a look. |

FWIW, the one I saw also had red brake calipers, so maybe if you either did a black interior or left the red brake calipers out, it would seem less busy.

What is the best color combination for number plates to put on M340i LCI Portimao Blue?
I currently have custom plates that have black background with white writing, and not sure if white background and blue writing would look better. What are people's thoughts? |

Picked up yesterday after order was placed 2/3/23. I am elated with the color. These pictures are on a cloudy morning and she still looks beautiful.

Hey everyone I’m very new to the b58 m340i but I finally stopped drooling over other people cars and was able to finally purchase my own. I can finally see why I was drooling lol

Here's some post on my M340 right after I did my CQuartz UK 3.0. The blue looks so different in the sun, enjoy!

Chrome grill on M340i LCI really stands out vs the blacked out grill.

I just posted on the regular G20 thread until I found this color thread, so I'll ask again...
Have a 2020 330 Portimao Blue with extended shadowline. Just sent in payoff to buy after lease so finally will tint the windows. Was thinking ceramic 30 front/back/rear (state law is 40 max front but should be okay) and no windshield. Should I do 70 on on the windshield also? I live in hot climate. Excited about the cooling benefits but also the look it will add to the car. Best color |
