Love estoril blue but for me it belongs on the E36 or the m coupe. Just like LSB is an E46 colour in my mind. But hey, as long as the owner likes it, thats all that matters!

I agree that certain colors define certain generations E36, E46...etc. What color will define the E9X? Even though I have an AW, I hope that's not going to define the E9X. White, how boring compared to Techno, Estoril, Laguna Seca, Dakar, Phoenix, etc.

Keeping the blue theme alive maybe the upcoming Monte Carlo blue? Although if that colour doesnt make it to the US as part of the exclusive offering then probably not. AW is definitely the most popular choice - but as far as defining I guess we will see. Estoril and LSB werent the most ordered colours I dont think.

I'm confused. I can see certain specs not meeting regulations or affecting cost in a way that warrants leaving it out but surely all colour options that are available should BE available??? I can also understand them leaving something like the M3 signature colour not being available on non M3 models but not the other way round. If a colour is available on the std 3 series I can see no reason that all those colours should also be available on the M3 and in all markets. |

Unfortunately, the dark grey wheels weren't available on '03 models. I've currently got a set of silver BBS wheels from an '04 STi on the car though.

Isn't BMW's logo blue and white?

of course it is blue and white, but that comment makes no sense whatsoever.

Also You forgot: Monte Carlo Deep Sea Imperial That's 8 total, with the ones you listed. At that point, I don't see how adding one more really makes a difference. Also, Estoril would be Individual only if it really does return. There are many more blues if you include Individual color. However, as I noted above, I can't see paying 5k for Estoril if Monte Carlo makes an appearance in the normal lineup. Edit: Also, Atlantic has been replaced by Blue Water for 2009. Doesn't change the number of blues though. Last edited by mkoesel; 08-13-2009 at 10:10 AM.. |

Would Estoril Blue be similar to Audi's Nagaro Blue or Sprint Blue?
I actually have never noticed an Estoril Blue M3 before and now with the start of this thread have been on the look out but have had no joy. I do know what these two Audi colours look like and if it's similar then at least I too would like it a lot and rate it a good addition to the range on offer. |

footie that color looks a lot like BMW's Mystic Blue to me. Estoril is much lighter.
BTW, is that Nagaro or Spirit - or are they the same color with a different name? |

Based solely on the photos of both the S4 and the M3 they look quite similar and if they are then I think it's beautiful. |

Theres an Estoril blue M3 parked right next to my car(Montego) and it's a disappointment to me considering how passionate a lot of people have been in this thread about bringing the color back. It evokes no emotions whatsoever from me. Just meh. Of course stuff like that is subjective. |
