My new Portimao Blue 330i xDrive
After being in an Audi for the past 3 years I'm so happy to be back in a BMW. I took delivery yesterday and honestly couldn't be happier, this model is light years ahead of previous 3 series models in terms of technology. My last BMW was an E90 LCI, which I owned for 7 years before my family expanded and had to move on to something bigger. Thrilled to be back in such an amazing car. Specs are as follows:
330i xDrive Portimao Blue Black leather w/ blue stitching M-Sport package Premium package Adaptive suspension Harmon Kardon Remote start Just some dealer pics they sent me prior to delivery |

That seat thing is so strange, I wonder at what point in production they assemble the two halves of the seat together... |

Thanks everyone for the kind words!
An update on the seat - as some noticed, my driver's seat has black/white stitching on the seat bottom vs blue everywhere else. I brought it to the attention of my sales advisor and they went ahead and ordered a new seat. The new seat came in and is the exact same as my current one. They've opened a case with the factory but I'd like to ask others with the black leather w/ blue stitching option....is your driver's seat all blue stitching or is it black & white on the seat like mine?? |

Blue stitching
Just checked my car. The stitching is Blue all around. Did the dealer order a complete new seat or just the bottom covers? If just covers, they probably entered the VIN into the EPC and it came up with the same covers already installed at the factory.
If they ordered a complete seat, which is very difficult to do and usually takes a long time to receive because they are made to order and not generally in PDC inventory, and it came in incorrectly that’s an even bigger problem. |

Some good news, since delivery I've tinted the windows with 35% on the sides and 20% on the back window. Also installed Xpel on all the leading edges for protection. And finally put on the black grilles today. So far, so good!
Also a picture I found humorous - I pulled out the old chrome grilles from my E90 LCI and put them next to the ones from my G20. Whew boy they've grown! |
