Estoril is my pick... then Long Beach Blue... then Monte Carlo. I don't love the purple tone in some of the blues.

As I mentioned earlier, all M specific colors are named after race tracks. |

Naming after race-tracks is typical but not always a prerequisite. Techno Violet, Hellrot (Bright Red), Carbon Black, etc.

Techno and Hellrot were available from the standard color palette on the E36 M3. Carbon debuted with the E39 M5 and also available on the E46 M3. Again, standard M colors. Carbon was later available on standard BMWs as well but it originates as an M GmbH color. Sorry to burst your bubble, but not all M colors are named after race tracks.

It's strange but I kind of made fun of LSB when it came out on the E46. I very much preferred Estoril blue. Now LSB is absolutely my fave. Estoril second and San Marino third

Many moons ago Estoril blue was my favorite, and I have loved Avus as well, but Long Beach Blue has taken the crown as of a few years ago. I adore blue with hints of green. I like Atlantis and Snapper Rocks, but they are actually greens with blue added instead of blue with greens added.

Too bad that they do not offer this option - this was the color on my 1976 2002
