Is this Estoril blue?

Could be Estoril or Avus. Estoril was a very popular choice for the UK 840 sports. What color is yours? Looks very close.

Correct me if I am wrong but this car doesn't look like Estoril blue?

Quite a few 8ers still popping up for sale which is surprising as there are so few on the road.

Yes, it is Estoril Blue. Lousy color pictures.

Maybe a respray....

But Master said it was Estoril from BMW....

And...I think it sure could be....bad pics for sure....

Have you seen it in person?

Zitat von sparklesmcgraw;70178

It really looks nothing like Estoril blue. I have never seen my car look that colour in the flesh or in pictures?

Agreed; I´d have placed a few pennies on Atlantis judging from the pictures but there are just way too many dials in modern programs and even automatic enhancers can go terribly wrong :

It looks too light for Estoril and Avus is much darker, almost Mauritious dark. I think it must be a dodgy pic.

Whatever else is dodgey the back wheels are on the wrong sides!

yip seems to be a greeny turquoise ... maybe its had a full respray and the bodyshop didnt bother with the paint code... "dave!....get that blue paint..."

too light for mauritious...detailed a mauritious 8 the other day...thats a very dark blue.

My old Estoril blue 325ci Clubsport.
Don't think that 8 looks anything like this colour.

Bit of a noob question, but where can you get all that info from?

You can call you local BMW dealer and try to get it, or you can register your car at 8Coupe.com and get a build sheet there. Jud is the registrar for the 8coupe.com website. Its goal is to provide this information to members, and also track ownership/locations of all the 8s built.

Register your car at 8coupe and get your info.

Yes Estoril has a purple hint whereas those pictures seem to make the colour look very cold
