Estoril Blue II is a strange color, in most lighting conditions it has a purple haze to it, it's not really a true blue, it's a teal/purple blend. And against that weirdness, having a red interior just puts it over the top, too much clown car for most of us to handle.
Under the constant SoCal sun it's a sexy blue. But you must be from somewhere with drab winters and think that kids these days need to stop listening to that rock and roll making them all have sex and smoke the reefer!

Pick one over the other but not both. Limit your risk to only the interior, the red looks very sporty, choose black or gray exterior instead.
Lol...true for some. Id def recommend seeing it in person then. I have my super man since 12/31/2013 and def dont regret it. In fact, i cant wait to go to the car and see it, and then of course drive it. But i understand how for many folks it can become an ill chosen color after few months. Either way, everybody enjoy your 3 series and 4 series.

To each his own dude, lol clown car. As long as that person is happy, may it be super man or other color combo, that is all that really matters. Peace and prosperity

When my dealer told me that they had that combo, I was not too keen. However, when you see it in person, it really works well.

I was concerned that I would regret the red interior after some time, but it has been 6 months and I still like the combo...

Well, at least you got the "disbelief" part right.

Lois Lane gets moist for Superman because of the muscles and the flying, not the boots and the cape.

I take it you've never seen the colors in person?


BTW, that prince pic will be perfect for f80 M3 owners who choose Yas Marina Blue exterior and Shakir Orange interior. Looks pretty close!
