I'm not really an Audi head but that looks brilliant. Some of the newer Audis such as the A7 look fantastic in those deep blues. I think its called sepang blue, then again I'm a sucker for a blue car anyway!

Estoril blue is another one. Liked it so much I've painted my car with it

I used to really like estoril blue when it was reserved for m cars, but since it's so popular now in the f30 mostly 4 cylinder diesels kind of took it's exclusiveness away. Still a lovely colour mind you.

not normally an Audi fan but the current range - A6 aside - is a lot more distinctive / classier looking than previous models.

Yep I agree. Always associated it with proper M Cars, and now you can have it on a four pot diesel three series which - obviously theres a market for it, but it still loses its appeal to the true enthusiasts.

Bmw estoril looks good on some cars but overall in not a fan of it, don't think it suits the e30 much. Audio estoril on the other hand is nothing like the Bmw colour, its way darker. Darker than the usual le mans or avus blue you see on a lot of bmws

There's a blue that looks like Estoril but it's a small bit more turquoise and is called Long Beach Blue:

Yas Marina is the M3/4 colour
Estoril is the 320d 420d colour
Monte Carlo Blue is the F10 m5 colour
Long Beach is the m2 colour

Its all confusing and they are all quite similar.

If there's one new BMW I'd like its the M2. Drove a few of the less powerful ones and they were a fantastic car to drive.

Pick of the range for me at the moment.

There is a new blue on the 4 series called Snapper Rock blue. It is very like the Laguna Seca on the e46.
