Valencia Orange and Estoril Blau are amazing colours. Specially with some M-Perf and blacked-out details.

Mineral Grau is a neutral colour with a very nice tint. It's excellent if you don't want a car that stands out too much. That's why I chose it. Otherwise, I would've gone for EB or VO.

VO, EB, MG in that order for me, Once you remove all of the 'vanilla flavours' such as black, white and silver (those that are on every other car on the road) Any of the BMW specific shades are great IMO.

I like Valencia Orange and Estoril Blue. I find the rest of the colors boring, but I can understand that some people want a discrete and practical color.

I voted EB II and VO. The other colours are to common for my taste.
Also the sparkle/flakes in the sunlight are amazing, especially with Valencia Orange.

Our dd is an Estoril Blue one, had a hard time deciding between the two.

Love the new E89 in it.

First time I saw a 1 M sport was in EB at the dealership where I had gone to order my F30 328i

The 1 series hadn't interested me until then, nor had I owned such a "bright" colour before. But the combo of EB and m sport was enough to make me want a 1 series instead.

I've received a huge amount of compliments on the colour and while people on the forum say its too common, only a fraction of the 1 series I see on the roads are M sports and then only some of them are EB.

Would rate grey as my second favorite.

My new 116d msport in Estoril blue was delivered on Wednesday. I was originally going to go for white but I have loved Estoril blue since the e36 so went for it. I am sooooooo glad I did. Eb is such a striking colour and the 1 looks fantastic. It has attracted so much attention already. I do like the orange but I think Eb is just a bit more eye catching.
