The Blues

Anyone know which of the blue shades most closely matches the M brakes?
  • Estoril
  • Mediterranean
  • Imperial

Bonus question: Seeing as the new build site is not yet available, is there a good resource for visualizing these options in the same lighting/angles?

Estoril Blue and the M-sport Brakes are almost a perfect match.

Thanks. I realize in retrospect this was a moot point, as only a single flavor of blue (EBII) is available with M sport/track packages.

Looks great, thanks! Unfortunately, wife veto'd this color (too "loud"), so I went with Glacier Silver Metallic.

LOL.

I got to see an EB Msport 328i yesterday at the dealer.
Very nice color. I like the Audi S3 pearl blue a bit more though, it seems a touch darker and the pearl effect is really nice up close.

EB is a very cool sport color.
Yet I decided to go silver as well w/coral red interior.

Msport colors are way too limited as we've all said before, except BMW doesn't seem to care.

I think EB is priority 1/customer order only because they know it's a color that not many will choose. Those who really want it will have to special order and then they know it's a sold car.

Agreed, Audi's Sepang Blue pearl effect is nicer than EB. Another similar color is Porsche's Sapphire Blue, which is nicer than both Sepang Blue and EB.
