Why we love it:

While not offered on the E46 generation M3, BMW Individual Estoril Blue was such a hit on other M cars of the day that more than a few Tailors opted to tick the box. It is much less common though, that those same Tailors continued down the path of Individual in selecting an off-menu interior as we see here. BMW Individual Estoril Blue and Black Nappa Leather on this M3’s manual-adjust (!) seats is an incredibly tasteful touch inside this Tailored Driver, as are the host of modifications mentioned in the PCar Market auction. The right blend of OEM+ (CSL trunk, OEM 6-speed conversion, Euro console tray), track-focused (JRZ 2-way adjustable coilovers, Brembo GT big brake kit, numerous polyurethane bushings), and recent maintenance work to make this BMW Individual Estoril Blue M3 the kind of proposition that early 2000s dreams are made of.

Color Focus: BMW Estoril Blue – 335

Introduced in 1992 on the E36 M3, Estoril Blue has become one of the more memorable rad-era colors to come from BMW M. BMW shares that the color was inspired by the blues of Portugal where the Estoril racing circuit calls home. Whether it’s the cool blue surf of the Atlantic Ocean off the Portuguese coast or the almost always-clear skies overhead, the reference to Estoril definitely sticks. That BMW Motorsport in both two and four-wheeled forms has plenty of history with the Portuguese track doesn’t hurt either.
