Was this ever an E46 color?

I got home and got this discount card from my dealer and this was on the front.

Now I don't know what color it is in the paint code list but I do know ive seen this on an 2002 X5 in my town and maybe an E36. So was it ever on an E46 because its dope.

Is that orient blue? It's tough to tell with cards.

This I guess its called Estoril Blue, and when I googled that in E46 it shows all M3's. thats a sick color.

Estoril blue was an M color. Not available on regular E46 cars.

Probably titanium silver... just odd lighting or printing

Could be orient blue which was mentioned and is a standard e46 color, could be an inidividual paint code estoril which was mentioned. If I had to guess I would say overexposure on orient blue.

[Marcus-SanDiego]

That's my first inclination. Overexposed orient blue.

Estoril Blue was available on the 330Ci Clubsport edition, which was for the Euro market Pre-facelift only :P

The M-Tech II body kit was unveiled on this that particular model:
1163

It also had Clubsport Splitters, which are the proper splitters for the M-Tech II front bumper cover.

And if anyone would like some details on the Clubsport, you can read it in the FAQ here (http://www.zhpmafia.com/forums/showthread.php?1789-Frequently-Asked-Questions-%28FAQ%29-About-the-BMW-E46-330-ZHP-Performance-Package-Option).

You guys are probably right just over exposure but i think it would look nice.

Nice, learned something new today! I didn't realize the M-Tech II came on prefacelift cars, ever.
Thanks for that.

Looks like estoril to me. Estoril is so :drool

[Mike V]

I like Estoril too. It was most common on the E36 M3 and earlier M Coupe.

I stare at that picture everyday at the stealer lol.. I find it funny how the pictures are so obviously photo-shopped. I think the x5 in the beginning of this thread is Le-Mans blue.. IIRC there was a special M package that came on the x5 that also included this color.
