Tri Color M Stripes on Estoril Blue?

Gents,

I just bought an estoril blue f32 m sport and I was wondering if any of you have seen any tri color or mono color M stripes that go well with this color. I really did not want another white car but it appears all Performance Package M stripes (tri color) are meant for white only. Any opinions?

Thanks

No M4 yet. I will put the M Performance Package so it will eventually look like this.

I have the M colors on my grill lol. Everyone who knows nothing about cars thinks my 328i is an M3. Didn't expect that, but ah well xD haha

Personally, I think the tri color m stripes look awesome on estoril blue as they really stand out. I had some on the front of my Montego blue 135i awhile back and they looked good imho. Give it a shot and if you don't like them you can always take them off.

You went with 428 with M Perf aesthetics instead of 435i's engine?

Different strokes for different folks, I guess. I don't really like the stripes, tbh, even on an M car.

I ve got the same question as you. I guess it won't look nice if you put the tri color strip on the Estoril Blue, that's why there is no demo with this combinations. I think any design in black is good.

Yeah, drove both, 40 extra torques and 60 extra hp didn't justify the 6k more considering that total MSRP of my car was 55k because I wanted all packages.

Last year my sister bought F10 535i and I really got spoiled by all that extra crap

I think the black stripe is your best bet.
