Triple Blue BMW Photoshoot: Estoril Blue II vs Imperial Blue vs LeMans Blue

SedateMe · 01-31-2013, 10:31 AM

The optional lighting package seriously improves the front headlights look on the F30 M-Sport.

Excellent shoot, love the blue.

Awesome photos.

Were they taken with a dslr camera? It may be an upcoming purchase for me that's why I ask. Thanks.

Great set of photos!

eatsleeplax · 01-31-2013, 01:43 PM

I agree, the sport bumper on the f30 is a must. without it the car is just hideous

tyler9595 · 01-31-2013, 01:50 PM

Wow, nice work. Thanks for posting. Imperial blue would look great on a sport .

cmhsam · 01-31-2013, 04:00 PM

Great pics. I am in Cbus as well if interested in meeting. I have a f10 m5 alpine white.

sensi09 · 01-31-2013, 04:28 PM

Nice pics.

Maybe it's the lighting, but prefer the lemans out of three in pictures......in person though, I definitely prefer estoril.

P1 · 01-31-2013, 05:51 PM

Great pics, now all we need is some Deep Sea in there!

PS: interesting how the new 3-series looks quite a bit wider than the outgoing model.

tony20009 · 01-31-2013, 06:14 PM

You couldn't have done that today. There are leaves on the trees giving summer and fall color. I know it's not that warm after last week, in OH.

Nice pics and cars though.

Eagle1oh7 · 01-31-2013, 08:26 PM

Then I will redo the paint on my E90 in Monte Carlo Blue when I get my bodykit!

Who? · 01-31-2013, 08:53 PM

Wow they all look great

positiveions · 01-31-2013, 10:55 PM

Beautiful cars, photos, and beautiful colors.

I totally got it wrong. Bentley has the Moroccan Blue. Thanks for catching it. LOL

DASHOCKER · 02-01-2013, 02:29 AM

beautiful! you have to love the look of bmws. clean lines.

Pentium · 02-01-2013, 04:31 AM

Great photos! M-Sports look so sexy on the F30...

by the way, I never thought having the Xenon Lights would affect the look of the car by this far!

cartaa100 · 02-01-2013, 04:39 AM

Great shoot! Love the colour of the e92

Alexxxx · 02-01-2013, 07:53 AM

+ for E92

zsupreme · 02-01-2013, 11:45 AM

love estoril blue. My first car was a 99 M3 in estoril blue. My next car is going to be an m4 in estoril blue

Have there been any estoril blue vs. estoril blue 2 picture comparisons?

mtgswede · 02-02-2013, 08:49 AM

This just reinforces my feeling that the F30 is far superior in looks to it's predecessor. Still love the E46 though and glad I held off until the F30 came out. I just hated the cheap ass interior of the E90, it was horrid except maybe for the red leather aluminum trim version. Exterior was OK but just not that inspiring for a German car. Bangle almost ruined the 3 series as far as I'm concerned. Not to mention what he did to the 5 and 6 series. Much better now though, IMO and it's just MO
