Wow that is nice. I love blue and that color looks nice on the 997. I would love to see it in the flesh.

You're correct - Estoril was a BMW color, and a nice one. I believe it was available on the M5 as well.

As much as we like the exclusive color, I will not recommend anyone to spend extra money getting it.
My ex-2005 997S was cobalt blue which cost more than $3000. This year they changed cobalt to a standard metallic and charge much less. All people with cobalt got ripped off.

I do not know the cost, but you can bet that it will not be cheap.

As a metallic so it's whatever the Paint To Sample Metallic charge is these days. Around $4500.

My favorite E36 M3 and possibly BMW color ever made. It looks amazing in person.

You could always wait, it may be a std. no cost color in a couple of years.
