2019 PB 330i

Hi all. Picked up a 2019 330i msport in Portimao blue a couple of weeks back with a nice spec from a friend of a friend and thought the colour was amazing. Brought it to a friend who is a professional detailer to do some paint correction, modesta bc05 ceramic coating and a small bit of xpel ppf on the headlights, b pillars and rear lights (dark) and wow now the PB really shines. Unfortunately the rain hasn’t stopped long enough to get some decent pics so these will have to do for now but they do NOT do it justice. If I can figure out how to attach video I’ll upload some clips from the polishing process.

Last week we picked up a 2023 Portimão Blue M440 to replace/upgrade our totaled F32.

After about a week of having the vehicle we are absolutely thrilled. It is a fantastic car. Pics below are from the dealer on delivery day and once we pulled it into the garage for the first time.

I am especially proud of the garage pic. You'll notice the poster of a blue E46 M3 in the top right corner. Here is a bit of a back story as to why I am over the moon. I loved the black F32, but the blue M (I know it's M-Lite but still) has to be one of my all-time if not THE dream car. It's been so since I was in high school. A guy on my football team drove around school in a blue 1998 E36 M3. Forever, I've thought that car was amazing. That's not to say I'm not like every other dude who grew up in the 80's and 90's and can list off all the usually suspects when it comes to dream cars:

Steve McQueen's 1968 Mustang GT
Bo Duke's 1969 General Lee Dodge Charger
Burt Reynolds' 1977 Pontiac Trans Am
Doc Brown's DeLorean
Wooderson's 1970 Chevelle SS 454 from Dazed and Confused
Bill Paxton's 1995 Dodge Ram (middle school jrkarger thought that was the most bad ass truck ever!)

With all of that said, my buddy's 98 M3 I thought was incredible, and still being a practical daily driver. I always told myself... someday. A few years later I went to the annual auto-show and grabbed the E46 M3 poster and tacked it up in my dorm room. I'd head out to class and still tell myself... someday. Well, someday has come and there is a blue M in my garage.

I have already ordered floor mats. It was at the window tint shop today. After that, quad tips are going on. I doubt many mods after that. We'll see.

This sits perfect! What's it lowered on, and how big are the spacers?

First post here and first time BMW owner. Very pleased and expect this won't be my last BMW

So far just front reflector paint match, black rear badge and window tint today. I've had it about 3 weeks so far and very happy with my choice!

Reposting photos of my Portimao Blue M440i GC from the build status tracking thread.

I took delivery at the BMW Performance Center in Greer, SC, and then had an amazing road trip back to California.

New to the forum. Just purchased my 2021 M340i xDrive on Saturday with 11k. Coming from a 2015 VW GTI with APR Stage 2 and it’s a world of difference in quality.

Good evening new to this forum but not BMW.

Current BMW is 2021 PB/Cognac M-sport.

Looking forward to all the information and “opinions” on this site.

Collected my new M340 on Friday. Waiting for the snow to clear, but makes for good photos in the meantime.

First time BMW owner here! Coming from a 2020 Lexus IS350 f-Sport, I can honestly and genuinely say, I do not regret this decision at all.

Picked up this custom ordered beauty back on March 8th (5 day late bday gift for myself lol)

Following day, I already tinted the windows, added a front lip, side skirts, and spoiler.

I'm thinking of possibly getting the Valvetronic Exhaust as well down the line, but we'll see.
