2017 M3 Estoril Blue II

xcusem3 · 04-18-2017, 02:02 PM

Meh.. looks too much like my wife's 328i.. I've been through the individual program on my e92 m3 before and there are sooooooo many amazing colours available it's crazy! However if EB is your thing it does look good on the m3 I have to admit, congrats!

KevinM · 04-18-2017, 02:03 PM

Fantastic color - congratulations on the build.

Eau_Rouge111 · 04-18-2017, 02:09 PM

Nice! Blue looks fantastic! More pics of the red headed step child please!

spuntyb · 04-18-2017, 02:18 PM

So crazy. Not two days ago I was wondering to myself why we don't see more EBII ///M cars. She's gorgeous!

Xtabi · 04-18-2017, 02:27 PM

Wait a second...is my old timerz kicking in our didn't you already have an M3 (or 4)?

I love EBII! If it was a standard color it would have been my first pick.

DerDichter · 04-18-2017, 02:31 PM

Amazing car. Congratulations. I have a 328 M Sport in Estoril Blue II and am working at the BMW plant in SC at the moment. I was driving outside the Performance Center last week and I saw it parked. Somehow the blue looked a little deeper than mine, and being an M3 I thought it was a different type of blue. Congrats again.

raysspl · 04-18-2017, 02:41 PM

Goooooorgeous

mjn77 · 04-18-2017, 02:44 PM

Nice, but the trouble with Estoril Blue is that everybody and their dog has that colour.

Wind the clock back a few years and it was rare.

M1rider · 04-18-2017, 02:52 PM

Beautiful color!!

Ghostriderf80 · 04-18-2017, 03:01 PM

Also why not full leather seats? ZCP is pretty sweet. Color rocks.

I agree. this is very nice though, congrats!

Wow this looks great. I wonder how the original Estoril Blue would look! I would be tempted to order that!

GMWNashville · 04-18-2017, 03:29 PM

SO.DAMN.SEXY.

RobbyMack · 04-18-2017, 03:37 PM

Nice! Congrats. I almost pulled the trigger on an ind paint with speed cloth build as well with Dave. Ended up going SO instead as I just couldn't stomach paying that much for paint. My only concern, no MT!

It's the same color. The II means it is a reformulation of the paint, or that they have a new supplier, etc.

The original Estoril Blue is lighter that EBII if you look up an E36 M3. My favourite colour for that model. Definitely not as deep a blue.

BMWFanatic2008 · 04-18-2017, 03:52 PM

IMO BMW shouldn't charge full individual price for colors that are standard on any other model.

2k would be reasonable (similar to Tarzanite Blue pricing).

Definitely not. I park next to an e36 M3 at work sometimes and it's clear as day that the original is lighter

Sedan_Clan · 04-18-2017, 03:54 PM

Nice car...........although I do like the original EB color shade better.

firedown31 · 04-18-2017, 04:31 PM

Random question, why bother with the trak tape and painters tape if you aren't planning to wrap it? Maybe you are?

Falafel Combo · 04-18-2017, 04:36 PM

Love it!!! Congrats!!! What a beauty!

ssuene93 · 04-18-2017, 04:38 PM

Congrats. Great color and look awesome.
