Estoril Blue just never gets old!

Very nice. Looks great, colors cool too, but then again I am biased.

No not at all, ironically I've been searching for an Estoril e36 M3/4/5 and had no luck finding one decently priced or in good shape. The day I picked mine up...a guy who I'd been bothering for almost a year decided to sell his to me that day an hour after I signed the papers...

elusive · 11-28-2015, 12:27 PM

Congrats!

I wish, not enough funds. Have to get the paint protected and then want to get a few carbon fiber goodies and small things to get her cleaned up.

Initially I told my wife I'm getting a blue BMW and she was like eww. She loves it now.

codeyf · 11-28-2015, 04:07 PM

Looks nice. Pics in your other albums point to your being in the PNW. What's the deal with local groups or meet ups? Anything interesting?

My fiancé was somewhat the same. I had two 7 series but the maintenance was killing me so we decided to sell 1 and get a new daily. She ruled out BMW completely but then we got a loaner alpine touring for about 3 weeks and after that she said ok I guess you could get a BMW. 2 months later it's here!

Wish someone would have warned me about the e65 though...

I co-run a Facebook forum PNW BMW, we do occasional drives and get togethers around Oregon and Washington and general bimmer discussion. Although this year, I plan on going to more CCA meets since now I will be able to enjoy them more and not worry about massive body roll.

Would be cool!! By 2018 the GC will have the new updated engine, and will be a 430i and 440i plus all the updates with LEDs I hope.
