Estoril Blue ... common as muck!

pmheadwired · 03-05-2014, 02:50 PM

... Just joking of course... its my favourite Beemer colour just now.

BUT I had never seen a single one (F30) on the roads when I placed my order for mine but today (having collected my car yesterday) I passed 4 different F30's in Estoril Blue.

They were all 318's or 320's but that doesn't matter as they all look the same! lol

Dont regret my colour choice one bit but its nearly as common as white BMW's! (another no offense intend joke.. I just left a white one).

i was torn between EB and glacier Silver - I’m leaving a Mineral Grey e91 and it has to be a different colour in order to feel like a new car.
My e89 Z4 was Deep sea Blue which was lush - a bit like Tanzanite - but Silver is pretty timeless and is very low maintenance as it doesn’t show dirt or scratches anywhere as much as darker colours - and it seems a bit rarer than EB at the moment!

I went for Glacier Silver

As long as you like it, thats all that matters mate.

I love my car in Superman colours and EBII was always gonna be a popular colour.

Its a nice in silver .. a classic colour... I pass an F30 M Sport in Silver on route to work in the morning and always admire it! especially during the wait for my car

Steve C · 03-05-2014, 03:05 PM

I'm surprised how few I've seen. Only about 1 per week over Nottingham way.

Yea man, I do really love it .. it was the only colour option for me when I saw it in the flesh ... but I am a little disappointed about how many F30's I have seen in the last few weeks

MWA · 03-05-2014, 03:09 PM

They are becoming as common as a friend pulling up in one to my surprise. Thinking BMW should start charging for the colour, that way it would be more exclusive colour once again..

DazC · 03-05-2014, 03:10 PM

Same as cars. I used to like unusual cars you never saw on the road, then when i'd buy one i'd see another on the road within a week.

As I said in another thread, around here it's MG and various blacks, odd white one not seen a single EBII.
Of course until I get mine and then will be millions lol

I love EBII but thought it was too in your face and asking for trouble so went for silver. I too left a grey bmw, otherwise I'd have gone grey but wanted a Change.

2blu · 03-05-2014, 03:19 PM

Lucky for me in Canada you can only get M-Sport on the 335 so it makes EBII a little more rare !

Waitey · 03-05-2014, 03:25 PM

Biggest selling colours so far:

EBII
White
Black

For M Sport Models only?

If its for non M Sport then it would be

White
Black
MG

Waitey · 03-05-2014, 03:32 PM

Yus. Apparently for non m sport it's:

White
Black
Silver

I can only assume silver is there from huge orders of rental and fleets cars. I've only seen a few.

Don't forget new police cars are silver....

TouringPleb · 03-05-2014, 03:55 PM

Not many EB round in South West Cambs/ North East Beds. Never seen one in the same car park at the same time as me. All seem to be white/black or red round here.
