Estoril Blue 335i v Long Beach Blue M2
Featured on BIMMERPOST.com In some of the pictures on this board LBB looks very similar to EBII, in person it is much tealer, as you can see in the pictures below compared to my car. (sorry about my filthy wheels, just had the snow tires put on)

Thanks,these are the perfect comparison photos.Some cameras make LBB look like Estoril Blue,but as we can see from these pics,the color doesn't look anything like Estoril Blue.Your camera captured what the color really looks like.

yeah my phone seemed to do a good job. It is a droid turbo with a 21 megapixel camera.

Thank you oh so much! This is what I will be moving from and to! Now in your mind, is this really representative? What's your evaluation/opinion of the colour going from EBII to LBB? Also, I assume that the brakes are EBII?

That looks way more teal than any other photo. The other photos (non-BMW) look far more blue including the walk around video (which the author says is true to actual colour). If it's this teal then I won't order blue

Still don't like LBB. It looks the color of that old crest kids tooth paste with the glitter in it. But I can see why people like it. It's metallic and does cool things. In my opinion, in shade or unnatural lighting it has a blue that's lighter than estoril - a bit less opaque I guess. Then in sunlight it can transition to turquoise. I guess I don't like either of these. The only redeeming part about this paint is its highly reflective and metallic sheen. Some metallic paints have a nice property about them that inspire thoughts of robots and high tech machinery.

Ive seen LBB in person, and these pics are pretty representative of the color, maybee in person it has a bit more metallic flake to it. Its definitely a color designed to be looked at...
