Estoril Blue is an excellent color. My M3's seats are closer to a saddle brown, than beige, but I would expect beige to look fine.

Estoril Blue first appeared in 1996. BMW switched to water based paints in 1996. Estoril Blue was always water based. I owned a 1997 Esotril Blue M3 for 6 years. Nice color. Looking forward to seeing a 2013 M Sport in EB.
