F30 335i M Sport Alpine White vs Estoril Blue II?
What you guys think, which one looks better. I know that white is just white (and these 18s look good on it, better than on Estoril)
but this estoril blue looks different in every picture and I am just not sure if its woth the risk of buying it without even seeing it in person |

I'm partial to white as well being that I have a 328i in AW on order. That being said, the EB is a really nice color and it looks great. But I would recommend AW because you know you wouldnt get tired of it.

I went with AW on my order...but I really don't think you could go wrong with either color. I like the EBII, it definitely stands out, but once I got stuck on the idea of Coral Red leather, I had to go with Alpine White, I don't have the stomach for the blue and red combo.

White does show lines better: The hood line, tow hook cover, headlight washer covers, PDC sensors, etc. Can't stand it. Each and every time, for the last 10 years, the first thing every single person says about my Z is they love the color. Historical analysis of my cars over the years: Blue, Green, Red, Green, Black (never again), Blue, and now Blue again. To each his own..

Both are great colors and you can't go wrong with either one here.
What interior color are you planning to get? Some interior colors don't play well with blue.

The M-Sport is a unique colour for BMW. No other motor is like it. It stands out from the crowd.
White is just too common and is about as unique as black, here in the UK. Estoril Blue II will follow the le Mans Blue, to say that you have a BMW. In bright sunlight the LMB is a fantastic colour and am sure the EBII will be also, as I hav'nt seen one yet. White? You just put your sunglasses on! ![]() NB I have a 320D M-Sport LBII on order for an early Sept delivery. ![]() |

Alpine White with Coral Red for the M Sport (with mixed 18") - but then again I'm biased because that's what I ordered. White always looks clean, and I'm betting that the blue will show dirt a lot.
