You could argue the same point with white/black/silver cars to be honest.

Certainly in the UK last year every other car was white!!

The only other colour which doesn't seem massively popular is valencia orange which has grown on me but I'd never pick it over estoril blue!
In South Africa I've seen very very few models below the 125i with the M-sport pack, it's more expensive on those models and works out to be really expensive in comparison to the base price. (I've also seen no cars that are spec'd up like we do on this forum!)

So while it seems like every second car on here is an estoril blue M sport, on the roads it'll just be the 125i's (I've only seen a couple, not all with M-sport) and the M135is which make up a small portion of the 1's you see around. So not many estoril blue as a portion of 1's around.

But yeah, it's common on here cause it's HAWT!!
