Estoril Blue II

Just saw an Estoril Blue 335 at the gym tonight... just had to say that has got to be one of the best colors I have seen on the F30. Truly stunning in person and very true what others say that the pictures don't do it justice.

If you're getting an M Sport and are on the fence about EBII just do it, you won't be disappointed and if you are I'll trade you

EB2 is so sexy in person. But mineral grey is really nice too.

I know I'll love Mineral Gray but after seeing that color I had to say something in case someone out there was on the fence. It's really something special.

LOL..
I have been deciding between EBII an MG..your signature says you are getting MG and within my heart I had decided it's going to be an EBII for me, even though I haven't seen it in person yet..but lately my mind has been leaning towards MG but my heart is strongly suggesting EBII..the only reason for the debate is I don't know how "flashy" EBII is...would prefer not to drive "flashy"..I have always driven silver and white..

I hope so. A boat left this morning but when i plug my vin into the ww site it says no record. I would say it's 50/50 i made the don juan this morning. If i missed it i will have to get the next boat on 10/1. Whole situation is pissing me off.

When i was at the dealer ordering, i initially went with mineral grey. Then i went to the lot and was looking at the eb2, and i decided to go for it. All my previous cars have been silver, black and grey.

I hear you on the flashy bit, that's one of the reasons I did MG... but after seeing it in person I gotta say I would have changed my mind to EBII. It's really a classy color and not racer boy looking at all.

That said a really dark gray metallic is one of my all time favorite colors on a car so I know I'll love it

That probably doesn't help your decision much. :P

You probably did, I'd guess! Mine didn't show up on the WW tracking until the next morning after the boat left.

I know I'll love MG because I've seen an MG F30 and it's a very well balanced color..
Did you get to see EBII in person before you ordered it?

My gut just keeps saying EBII is the way to go for me...but then the head takes over and yells MG!!!

And yes..M perf black grills would be the VERY first mod i'll be making..

Edit: Never mind..you DID see the EBII in the lot before ordring it..my apologies

I hear ya If it was between the old Space Gray and EBII it'd be a no brainer. But there is something about a really dark gray that just pulls at me...

and I am 30

It's all good. I can say that i would not have ordered EB2 without seeing it in person.

Im about to turn 31!!! (not right at all, getting older sucks! lol) but, im in the process of purchasing an MSport . Can't wait. So I'm in love with EBII!! But I'm getting a little help with the vehicle ,and have to go with a color that dad likes. He says that he likes it but i will get bored with the color after a bit. (i don't think so) . So anyway, i am in a Sparkling Graphite 07, and think that the MG IS Very similar. I also had a titanium silver 02 . And a e36 black. What color should i get this time if the EBII,is out.... Silver again? MG is almost getting the same vehicle. Black shows all the marks, but so elegant, and won't drive white! Silver is nice and didn't show to much marks....please help so lost! Thank you in advance. :-D

I have always had dark colors. So I decided with silver this time around not knowing how it will look. Let me tell you that when I first saw the cat at the Welt I was so glad I went with it. I first wanted eb2 but also wanted coral red interior so it was a no no. No disappointment though, silver is great with the msport.

Here is a look. And just like EB2, pictures don't do it justice.

So for me IT IS EBII after all.
I finally got to see that color in person, and my gut was right. F30 looks SUPERB in that color.

Now the only debate is 6MT or 8AT.

Well EBII is still going to be a rare color as it's harder to find in dealer lots compared to the shades of black and white. So in retrospect, if it's rare, shouldn't value go up? I can't tell you as I don't know, but I did have a Sapphire Blue Sentra for 5 years and had great trade in value.

Man I was in the same boat about choosing whether or not to go with EB II or AW. Once I saw EBII in person, that was it. IT LOOKS SOO GOOD!!! I never even had to think about it twice after that. It is a truly amazing color!

look at Gerbs pics of here of his/her EBII waxed and shined up 335i at the park. Thats is the best looking pics if you can't see it in person. Im so happy with my choice of EBII.
