Estoril Blue / Coral Red Combi

paulf · 11-11-2013, 02:37 AM

Anyone got this combination? Pictures to share?

Thanks in advance

MarkG_M5Comp · 11-11-2013, 03:23 AM

Too many colours IMO - for me it was EBII OR coral red, I went for Sapphire with Coral and it's stunning.

Dare I say there are just too many EBIIs on the road now! (Coming from a driver of a black car - lol).

I found some decent pics on Google but as we know the red doesn't reproduce well in low quality photography so looks too bright.

If you need pics I'll dig some out my iPhoto library...

Apparently it's called the "superman" look. There are quite a few EB's appearing around my way also, not sure if it's a bad thing, used to be quite an exclusive colour back in the E36/46 days, I initially wanted it but changed to AW as the dealer showroom was full of EB M sports, may go for it next time round though, but I probably wouldn't have the red seats.

Paul, I have this combination and it looks stunning.

Is that a speed camera detector on your windscreen?

Thanks! Just love the interior! Guess I'm working around that :-)

Springer. It is indeed, it detects accident black spots that are marked by radar and laser......

Attachment 938731I've also attached a few pictures. I really liked the colour combination and glad I specced it but I realise its a very subjective thing.

For me it really lightens the interior and it was just a bit different if that makes sense

Red and Blue. Superman. Superwoman. Union Jack. Top choice. Nothing compares. Copycat!

I went for eb2 with Dakota beige, only because in my head eb2 with coral didn't look right. When I saw the superman look in real life I fell in love with it. Was gutted my car wad already in build otherwise would have got rid of the Dakota.

ThreethirtyDee · 11-11-2013, 04:54 PM

Beige is great. Don't regret it for a second. Looks great when the interior lights set to classic come on when you unlock the car

I currently have the EB with black dakota & have noticed a fair number of them on the roads now. Although i like the coral red, i didn't like it with the EB.
If i get another Beemer in a couple of years time, it will probably be the 335i in Mineral Grey with red coral, fully speec'd

MRPoisson · 11-11-2013, 06:09 PM

Noooooo, don't do it!

ben_e71 · 11-12-2013, 12:06 AM

Do it you only live once and a car is for three or four years only.

steddyman · 11-12-2013, 03:11 AM

I ordered this combination too and I think it looks beautiful so don't worry.

Here is the thread with all the photos you need.

Super look for teaston!

martin4271 · 11-16-2013, 03:09 PM

I like the combination, but just a thought, are the EBII colour schemes becoming a little common?

For common read POPULAR.

martin4271 · 11-18-2013, 11:44 AM

Apologies, popular being a more politically correct term amongst this gracious forum.

Finnie · 11-18-2013, 02:41 PM

I've taken the risk too. The PvP guaranteed values help my choice but I also think it will look stunning. When I picked up my old 335 everyone thought I was mad buying with red leather but when they saw it they loved it. It's will be colourful but who cares you will generally only as one colour at a time anyway (helped by tinted windows anyway)
I cannot wait
