We got the Blues: Portimao Blue G20 vs San Marino, Yas Marina, Estoril Blue

BIMMERPOST
     Featured on BIMMERPOST.com
There are quite a few great pictures of Portimau Blue in showrooms and on display at auto show booths. Here is a set of pictures and a video that give you a better visual representation of the color next to a few other BMW blues.

The online configurator shows a color that looks like it could be Estoril Blue. It's not. Portimau Blue is a slightly deeper and more vibrant blue. It appears to me that it may have a few flecks of San Marino Blue, but then again it was parked next to the CS

From left to right in the first picture:
San Marino Blue M3 CS Sedan
Portimao Blue 330i xDrive Sedan (G20)
Estoril Blue 440i Gran Coupe
Yas Marina Blue M3 Sedan with Competition Package

Enjoy!

BMW G20 3 Series in Portimao Blue vs other blues

Hey David. Glad to see that you are still active with BMWs. You sold me a '11 e92 M3 , night blue over rust brown, while you were at Passport BMW.

Anyway I was wondering if you could do another side by side with the following blues: portimao, mediterranean, and tanzanite 2.

Thanks...

Wow I never liked the F30 until now. It looks like a design tour de force compared to the frumpy and messy G20. What are BMW thinking?! The front grille is a disaster.

Completely agree that it has some San Marino in it. I said the same thing the first time I saw it. Can really see it when the sun hits it

There is no F30 in these pics, but for sure you're a BMW Design Master 🙄

So the BMW paint department took San Marino and Estoril and mixed them 50/50...viola! All look good. I'll echo the Interlagos Blue comment, that was a good one!

It's going to a great customer in TX. I had the rare and fortunate opportunity to meet them. M enthusiasts and some of the most generous and cool people ever. It's definitely going to a good home.
