The only BMW M135i with Estoril Blue Interior

A month ago I was fortunate to test drive a Porsche Carrera 4S that had matching interior trim to the exterior colour of the car.

Given that I was already planning to change my interior trim to the M Performance trim, I was wondering if I could replicate what was done in the Porsche test drive car.

Lucky enough, I was able to buy a set of 2nd hand BMW F20 Sport Line interior trim for cheap. Afterwards I went to my local paintshop guy with my trim and OEM B45 Colour Code paint. Told my local guy to sand the trims a bit, then paint the parts with the B45 paint. Hence the end result, it worked like a dream !!! The good thing using original trim, fitment was 100% !!! Paint was spot on too !!!

Many thank to my buddy Cary that help me organize and the fitment of the trims !!!

I believe I am in the only person in the world with Estoril Blue trim on a BMW M135i. Please correct me if I am wrong :P

See what you guys think

Can I ask if your BMW Performance steering wheel shows what gear you are in on the display?

Thanks... that's a shame as I would have purchased the wheel for that alone as it's difficult to look down to see when you are driving fast
