Estoril Blue Missing on BMW USA for F30!?

I love this color, wish it would have been the blue chosen for F80 instead of YMB imo. As you all know, EB was a standard color for F30s with the M package. EB is now gone when you try to build out on BMW USA!?!

You can still get it for an F8x if you are willing to fork over $5,000 for Individual

Yep, according to my friend who works at a dealership, they have stopped production of EB. I also wish the F8x's came with EB. Would've chosen it in a heart beat.

True, I actually work part-time at a BMW dealership and I am looking at an employee lease on an F80. I am hoping I can get a break on the BMW Individual paint, I'll have to ask my salesman. I am thinking EB (if the price isn't too steep) on black full merino with the silver 19" wheels. Thoughts? Backup build would be MW on black full merino with the black 19s.

Here is an EB F80 from the forum with the black wheels:

If you are going to pay $5K or even dealer discounted $5K on an individual color, I would go with a true M color - like Interlagos Blue or San Marino or some other M exclusive color. While EB looks good, at first glance, your car would look like a garden variety F3x. More so if you went with the coupe which does not have fenders as noticeably flared as the sedans.

Yes, I can confirm as well that EB is no longer an option for the F3X.

Still available for the gran coupe on bmwusa.com though. Weird.

I have a MW F30 335i now but with the light gray interior. It was my first white car so I took a gamble having never seen the paint in person when I ordered it. It turned out to be an excellent choice. EB was my first choice but at the time it was only available for the M Sport line and I got the sport line.

I ordered an F80 in YMB this time around though with Silverstone interior. I prefer the blue/Silverstone color combo personally but I think EB with black interior will look really sharp.

Awesome. Yes, silverstone with any blue looks sick. I am terrified, though, of getting a light color interior that will show wear. I'm going to DD this car.

I DD mine and my leather still looks brand new which is why I went with a light color again with the F80. Surprisingly it has held up really well but I am careful. I also haven't noticed any of the blue jeans dye transfer off to the seat.

Dog sits in the back seat a lot too but I do have a backseat hammock that he sits in so that he isn't touching any of the leather.

Lol, the thought of a dog on those silverstone seats.

Never for me! !! I have seen plenty comments on people putting their dogs in their new M's too.
