South,
There have been some claims that Estoril II is simply the same paint code as Monte Carlo, just rebadged for non-M vehicles. Can you confirm or deny this? Maybe our old buddy BMWFleet could be of assistance here. |

Are the rear and front turn signals LEDs (as in LCI E90) or normal bulbs?
I am not sure but it seems to me that F30 has classic bulbs which would be a downgrade IMO. |

Sweet job Carsupra.
About the 2012, I think it's going to look hot in person. Can't wait to drive the 4-cyl and see if it lives up.

You can also order the alu trim with a gloss black stripe instead of the blue one.

Thanks south. I hope we can get a firm answer soon. If it turns out they are one and the same, it might put and end to the "Why can't the M-Sport get Monte Carlo, too?" and "Why doesn't the M3 get Estoril when the MSport does?" comments.

Estoril Blue II is code B45 Monte Carlo Blue is code B05 The formula for Estoril Blue II contains alot more silver than the Monte Carlo. They are definitively not the same

My guess from the formulations is Estoril Blue will look lighter than Monte Carlo in the sun

Thank you E90Fleet - you are the man.
Oh, and my bad for completely butchering your screen name, lol. Getting old I guess. |
