First service done

We got our first servicing done on the 330i. Oil change, seatbelt recall, and diagnostic on our non-functional kick-to-open trunk.

This was also my first BMW service experience, period, and was pleasant. We got a 228i Gran Coupe loaner, which I can tell has nothing in common with the 2-door. Nice to have a free loaner, though.

I'll never get tired of this paint color.

When I started out I really thought this color was over the top for me. I was totally in on mineral white.

Fast forward and I’ve bought arctic white while now perusing this blue because it looks so great.

The phytonic blue 330xi I’m waiting on comes with the illuminated black grill. I thought I would prefer the chrome grill surround, but the black is definitely growing on me!

Ours has M Sport and has Shadowline, but not the extended Shadowline. So, we have the chrome grille on Portimao Blue.

It actually has grown on me. I think having the black wheels with the black grille might have been too dark for my taste.

I think you’re right. Your car looks great.

Good Morning/ Evening,

I have booked my first luxury/sports/BMW vehicle and it's a 330i M-sport in Portimao Blue with the mocha interiors.
Here in India, we don't really have the option to customise the exterior and interior much apart from the colour of the vehicle, but when I visited the showroom to see the 5 series LCI, I saw a 330i in PB standing there and instantly, I knew that was the car I wanted to drive for the next 8-10 years.

I am writing this here to ask my fellow BMW G20 PB owners the following:

1. What would you recommend I get done to the vehicle as soon as it gets delivered to me? Anything Portimao Blue specific or 3 series specific or in general for a BMW....

2. I read on this thread that a lot of people got ceramic coating done to their vehicles, what is the difference between a full body PPF (XPEL) vs a ceramic coating, and which is a better choice, especially for the Portimao Blue? Does one make the colour better over the other?
I planned on getting the PPF, mainly because I read that it helps in the car withstanding scratches better for a longer period of time.

Appreciate the suggestions from you guys, and thanks in advance!

Can't wait to drive my 3!

Cheers,
G
