Getting my first BMW today!

kssxs · 08-17-2018, 03:24 AM

I've been a lurker here for years, just waiting patiently to become a true member...

So, in less than 12 hours, I'll be the proud new owner of a 2015 Estoril Blue 435i...

I've waited for this day, literally, for 3 years, and can't believe that I've finally got one!

Found a fantastic deal on a no-accidents, clean record, fully loaded RWD BEAUTIFUL car with only 20300 KM (12614 miles) on it. I'll be picking up an extended warranty from BMW Protect on the drive home, just to cover any potential future issues, but a BMW inspection came back clean as well.

I've also already ordered a key fob protector, and a BlueTooth OBD adapter for use with BimmerCode. Can't wait to get coding!

Don't know how well I'll sleep tonight...

Very nice!

But looks more like M Performance Edition in Santorini Blue?

It is definitely Estoril... I think I messed around with Photoshop too much, lol, although my eyes remember it being this vivid. Love at first sight is... blinding...

And you're also right, it is a 435i M Performance Edition!

Thanks for the compliment!

.BMW. · 08-17-2018, 04:25 AM

I'm looking forward to more photos after pick up!

bimmer456 · 08-17-2018, 08:35 AM

Great color and rims. My car turns heads but I think this would turn more heads!

adhrp · 08-17-2018, 09:01 AM

Great looking car! Those wheels are killer! Welcome, OP!

cfm56d7b · 08-17-2018, 09:02 AM

Great car and it looks like the previous owner added a few items as well. Are those 20" wheels?

Slickz · 08-17-2018, 10:05 AM

that does not look like Estoril blue! Post some non-touched photos when you pick her up

435MSport6Speed · 08-17-2018, 10:23 AM

Manual?

Beek · 08-17-2018, 10:44 AM

Thats estoril blue? Man, you must've messed with photo shop a lot. I thought it was laguna seca blue at first just because of the m performance look (wheels, lip,spoiler). But you mentioned RWD it's probably not the m performance addition.

tsm007 · 08-17-2018, 11:10 AM

Congrats on the sweet ride

I really think you’re mistaken. That’s not Estoril, it’s Santorini Blue.

That’s definitely the M Performance Edition. Santorini, not Estoril, was the blue that was available for the F32.

This ^. Definitely not Estoril Blue. I actually like the Santorini Blue better.

JamesWWIII · 08-17-2018, 12:52 PM

Not sure what blue you got, OP, but you got a nice ride...congrats!

Digital_83 · 08-17-2018, 12:57 PM

Sleep ? Tonight ?!? You're doin' it all wrong, OP ))
Congratulations ! Outstanding choice

50shadesofhockenheim · 08-17-2018, 01:06 PM

Yeahhh that's definitely not EB

TylerMcCraw · 08-17-2018, 04:36 PM

Thats def Santorini Blue, Which is a better color anyways in my opinion. No way, Photoshop or not, Can you make Estoril look like that. Its also a extremely rare and far more expensive color from factory!! Congrats OP

LongRuf · 08-17-2018, 05:15 PM

Beautiful ride! Love that blue! Welcome!

jack90 · 08-17-2018, 06:17 PM

Looks mint that does!

tuco44 · 08-17-2018, 06:22 PM

I have had Estoril Blue, and like the others here have said, that is NOT Estoril Blue.

But the car is gorgeous, whatever blue it is, and looks like the Canadian M Perf Edition coupe. A very nice car for your first BMW, Congrats.

FastActionJax · 08-17-2018, 06:22 PM

Good for you man! I was in the exact same boat as you. I trolled here for years before picking mine up. Congrats on a beautiful ride and cant wait for more photo's. doesnt look like Estoril Blue to me though.
