Hi guys,

Is there a big shade difference between a Estoril Blue M sport and Estoril Blue-ll? I’m a bit confused I thought Estoril blue was just 1 color. I found a bumper cover in great condition, but it’s off a 2013 335i model and I have a 2018 340i. I believe the paint code for the 2013 is 335. So my wife went over a sink hole or something like that and it completely trashed the bottom side of the bumper cover and chipped off the paint in the corners. Rather than having to respray my front bumper because every body shop sucks I figured I can just find a replacement bumper.

Thanks.

My car is 2017 with Estoril Blue II and B45 paint code worked just fine on it.

So the paint matched all around? It wasnt off under the sunlight?

My spoiler was painted with b45 paint code and installed on my 2017 Estoril Blue F32. It looks factory and I can’t tell any color difference.

Yes, nothing off color in the sunlight.
I have a brand new front right fender and a brand new front bumper cover. Both NOT blended into the car and no one can tell the difference. The paint/body shop I use is very knowledgeable of BMW paints as for decades they have been BMW authorized repair shop in Southern Ontario.

Recently I went to the specialty auto paint shop for a custom made spray bum (B45 paint code), the guys there looked at the car and could not believe that those panels were not factory painted once I told them which ones were. My CF exhaust diffusor is also pattern/partially painted to match the car.
