midnight blue and estoril blue z4m coupes?

Calichase · 09-22-2013, 02:52 PM

i happened to stumble across a uk z4 forum where i discovered a midnight blue z4m coupe and an estoril blue m coupe as well. I know of estoril blue as an individual color but i didnt know anyone had either of these colors for m coupes. They were both right hand drive. I remember a while back there was a thread about colors and they were a few bmw individual colors on the m coupes, like carbon black, but i dont remember these colors.

Anyone have any knowledge?

To my knowledge, estoril blue is a color that was available on Z3s and E46 M3s but not for Z4Ms

Not sure about midnight blue. Could it perhaps be Monaco Blue which is a very dark blue color.

Comments are based on North American Z4Ms. Not sure if it applies globally.

Well it's been a long enough time since these cars have been around that it's possibly just an aftermarket paintjob

Calichase, I had a monaco blue (favorite color for Z4) and it's like a midnight blue... at night it's black...during the day it's a dark blue...I suspect it's that color you are looking for. It's a black base paint with blue pearl... very pretty. Never heard of Estoril blue.

European ordered cars had a number of color options beyond what we were offered...

I'm not aware of any z4m's coloured estoril blue, not even aftermarket

I've seen a photoshopped one, I know cos I wanted to see what it looked liked so someone did it

Complete respray from black sapphire to matte estoril blue:

I'm not a fan of light blue cars...but the matte blue is sexy

I dig it

I looked through numerous build thread and both were Bmw individual colors. The midnight blue is the Europeans equivalent to Monaco blue it appears. Only 17 were made. I think only 1 estoril blue was built, and it wasn't a respray.

DR Z4 · 09-23-2013, 08:14 PM

That's a gorgeous paint job, but I don't think it suits this car that well.

Vanne · 09-23-2013, 09:04 PM

Suits the z3m to a tee, but not sure about it on the 4.

seank · 09-23-2013, 10:35 PM

Sweet

chickdr · 09-24-2013, 10:08 AM

That must have cost a fortune. It appears they took it down to the body to spray everything.

inTgr8r · 09-24-2013, 10:35 AM

JMO but matte/frozen is getting old.
Estoril in gloss would be great!

r4gs · 09-24-2013, 12:57 PM

The matte estoril blue z4mc has been on sale since the start of 2013 and only recently (<1 month) 'morphed' colours from BSM to the custom matte estoril shown. Definitely a professional repaint (the asking price has swollen another usd4500) with individual panels removed and glass-out repainted. Myself am somewhat on the fence over how it looks but it is most definitely unique. Am also the only BSM z4mc left in Singapore

There is also a bmw-dealer-repainted frozen grey z4mr in Singapore but I can't manage to find the pictures now.
