lets be honest: the colour is great but who the hell would REALLY buy it.
its just too flashy and a bit unpresentable imo...
As someone with a British city as a user name, and a Germany listed as their location, I'm surprised at this. I've noticed that generally, the more rain and gloom a place gets, the more likely people are to buy brighter colored cars. I've lived in Frankfurt, Dallas, London and Southern California and find that sunny places tend to have lots of black, white and silver cars, and less sunny places are where I see fun colors.

My old car was Imola Red, and I'll likely get Estoril on an F31, so I like to buck my observed trend.

I had a Le Mans Blue E91 M Sport Touring, I was expecting Estoril Blue to be too light/bright, however after seeing it in the flesh at Geneva, I would buy it in a heartbeat. Shame I couldn't look inside the car.

The photos seem to be a good respresentation of the colour under the lights of the show.

I live in Woking BTW
