Don't judge me!

I want to have an Estoril Blue 340i when my lease is over and everyone thinks it's a stupid idea. I just can't stop loving this color and I wouldn't mind having all my cars in this color.. Ok maybe that's pushing it but still!

I stopped caring what other people thought about 30 years ago. It makes life much more enjoyable. Do what you want and don't feel the need to justify or make excuses for your decisions...

So why the change?

I didn't think the new engine gave that much more umph? Circa 20bhp in BMW's under-rated figures. With LCI wasn't that dramatic from a visual perspective - unless you really don't like the ride characteristics and want to see how the LCI has changed/improved them?

Struggling to see why you would want to change so quick?

I'm so bad at putting in details... The lease on my car is going to be up in 4-5 months and I'm debating on what color to get for the next car... I wouldn't mind changing to a different color but the EB adds that extra umph to the sexiness of the car...

Get another EBII, it's your car, and defn gives the car that extra "wow" in appearance. I had a E92 montego blue and didn't hesitate to get an EBII F32.

If you're on a desktop browser, look at the F30/32 in EBII on the top banner, not a coincidence
Heck, my next BMW will probably be another similar shade of blue.

Yas Marina gets top nod from me. Just stands out more without being offensive like a yellow or orange. Though I still want an Austin yellow M4 when the S4 lease is up. LOL

Agreed. If it makes you happy, don't worry about how many people are laughing at you. It's a mantra all the ricers obviously have come to terms with. LOL

But yeah, if your lease is up why the angst? Going from the 335 to the 340 is the logical move at lease end....and if you like EB (and who doesn't at least a little) then why not get the same color again.

Get the EB II... Trust me.
