Estoril Blue is back as a non-individual colour!

[FunBusMk2]

The 1-series is now available in M-Sport guise and it's available in Estoril blue. A great colour and great to see it back.

That is all.

No

It bloody is, it's a very weak colour in strong daylight. The only time it looks good is just before or around dusk, when the colour becomes a little more solid.

Personally I'd say black with Estoril. With black or mineral(?) grey Oyster would look great.

If you have to go for estoril, definitely a black interior with it. It gives better contrast.

Depends on the application....

[marmite monster]

never liked it either .reminds me of nissan bluebirds/micra's

[VinceFox]

There's an mg rover colour that's frighteningly close too.

[FunBusMk2]

Bermuda Blue that Rover did is very close.

[Tea Pot One]

It is a bit of a marmite colour ....

[VinceFox]

I love pretty much everything about my car, except for that bloody colour. Arctic would have suited it so much better.

When I return to the UK tomorrow I'll post some pic's of my old estoril blue E36 M3 Evo.

It only ever looked moderately good on the E36 M3 and even then it wasn't great

I bought mine on condition and price, i looked at a lot of crap before buying it as well. The colour was definitely not my first choice but the car is excellent.
