May Poseidon favor the Cassiopeia Leader and it's precious cargo!

Hi all. New here and tracking my Portimao Blue Z4 M40i (all the options) which I have confirmed left Bremerhaven on Thursday bound for Port Hueneme California on 11/10. Do I have any shipmates here?

Edit to add: Vernasca White interior.

I'm on the Wild Rose Leader. Godspeed to both boats.

Horseman · 10-16-2023, 07:32 PM

looks like quite a few of us opted for that Portimao Blue! LoL may the tides ever be in your favor!

I was thinking the same earlier this evening.

Smooth sailing, looks like a semi-twin on the way

Yeah I was between it and the San Francisco Red, but when I saw the Portimao Blue on an i4 at the dealer and I was sold.

I also considered the Thundernight, but I really wanted the Tan (Cognac) interior and that doesn't work quite as well IMO.

I think the little hovering blue "popular" or "trending" graphic they put over some choices on the BMW build site switched from the skyline gray to portimao over the course of my couple days-long obsessive deliberation.

Must be viral.

Frankly, I love at least one seat/paint combo with every color on offer. Gray and "red" is stunning as is TN/red. Red and white? Amazing. White and red? Blue and cognac? or with "Red" (Orange, lol)? All great. You could almost spin a roulette wheel and come up with a winner every time.

I saw cognac and TN combo and actually it looks real good lol.

IMHO, the cognac interior looks great with both the PB and TN.

I agree. I have TN and Cognac and love it.

Actually, the cognac leather color is like blood type O which is a universal donor. I have seen it with white, black , blue, red and grey and it looks good with virtually every other color.

Yep. I originally placed the order for PB with the ivory seats, then walked over to where the color samples were. After just a few comparisons, we went back to the CA and changed it to cognac.

IMHO, unlike Misano Blue which is a brighter color and the ivory definitely works, the ivory is too stark a contrast for PB and you made the correct choice with cognac.

When did they switch to PB? What MY?

I am prejudiced, everyone knows how I will vote.

I've got TN, but it would have been a tough choice if MBB was available. That color is stunning in the sun.

Looks like the Cassiopeia Leader is waiting by the South of England for some high winds and swell just out West to pass.

Wait a minute! I spoke too soon! The Mighty Cassiopeia Leader appears to be on the move! I hope it’s an “M” ship.
