OP, my words were not to offend anyone. Your car is beautiful! Please don't get me wrong. The color just seemed off to be Aqua

Now you know you got a $5k option for free

I'm not sure I have seen the BMW color in person so I can't say.

No offense taken, the car was advertised as the wrong color and I posted before I did my homework. I love the color and the fact that it is PTS is a bonus.

Estoril blue in the BMW is a slightly darker metallic blue.

First Impressions- lower octave engine note (I like), more torque under 3,000 rpm and quicker from a standing start, more composed and quieter over harsh bumps.
