Best colour
About to place an order for 1 msport, torn between the Estoril blue or Velencia orange.
Did think of white as it's free, but the dirt shows real bad on white. What is the best colour you think looks good. |

M cars have had used Estoril blue as a standard for many years, where VO is popular at present.
If you want to play it safe buy white. It depends on how long you intend to keep the car. The Estoril blue will still be popular in the future because it is the M colour. Look at a M Badge and you will see EB as one of the colours (no VO on it) |

I chose Estoril as it caught my eye in the dealership, I was drawn to it the second I spotted it and said to my partner, Emma, I must have it in that colour!
The M brakes are a different shade of blue, it's not an exact match |

Midnight Blue, mine looks great in the sports line. Resell will be easy too. One thing is make sure you get the Corona rings or you will regret it they finish the car just right. Worth every cent .

I like the Estoril Blue from first day and I think it was a good choice in combination with the M sport package.
Valencia Orange is nice colour as well, but I have fear it's "too much" in everyday life. But it's clearly a nice and fresh colour! My choice to Estoil Blue would be Saphir Black at first.

Whatever color you choose, go for a light color, you will see less scratches
I have a black one, and I am dispapointed in paint quality of the F20. Come not even close to the paint quality of a E46 I've owned. |

I've own 4 E92's and the water based paints were dire on all of them. LBM was a nightmare at showing swirl marks.
