I reckon your only chance is if they continue production into Q1 2012.
2011 is already set, and its white/black/VO. I can't see them introducing a paint spec change mid-year of a production cycle.

Personally, I'd like to see a 1M in a BMW 'intepretation' of Porsche's Riviera Blue.
I'm personally happy with the orange that I ordered, but if that (or, ok, I admit, Estoril) was available, I don't think Valencia would have been in the running... |

Amazing! After seeing this I had to update the picture content of the original post! I must say that after being gone from this forum for some time since deciding the 1M wasn't for me (and buying a Challenger 392 with my 1M money), I'm glad to see the passion for some real color options is still strong! I hope BMW wakes up from their boring color selections and give us enthusiasts the colors we desire. Even if its not for the current gen 1M, maybe they will see the light in time for the upcoming E92 M3 CSL, 1M CSL, F22 1M, and F32 M3! That way I can make another BMW purchase in the future confident I will be offered colors I actually want. |

And now to add insult to injury, BMW has announced the F20 will get not only Valencia Orange, but my coveted Estoril Blue.
I'm in denial and willl not give out hope of seeing an Estoril Blue 1M. Seems like a tragedy that one could find it on a F20 and not the 1M. Please don't make me wait for the M2. |

"M Sport Package. Athleticism is inbred in the new BMW 3 Series. Those looking for even greater dynamic character will find just what they require in the M Sport package, including many extra equipment items. Discover its benefits – from the third quarter of 2012 at your BMW Dealer’s. The M Sport package with its innovative equipment features is based on the athleticism of the new BMW 3 Series Sedan with Sport Line and turns to the BMW M3 for its appearance. One constituent is the M Sport suspension lowered by ten millimetres with stiffer spring and damper settings as well as harder stabilisers. Its dynamic character is emphasised by the exclusive M Sport body colour of Estoril Blue metallic, a special aerodynamics package with numerous body components, chromium exhaust pipe finishers, modified suspension settings and M Sport light-alloy wheels with a diameter of 18 or 19 inches. Front and rear bumpers, sill covers in body colour and a striking diffusor insert in Dark Shadow Metallic on the tail underline the sporting character of the M Sport package, exploiting its visual effect to the full. On the inside, the M Sport package includes the M leather steering wheel with multifunction including short-shifter gear lever (for manual transmission) in soft leather nappa with M emblem and sports seats. The seat covers are in a characteristic fabric-Alcantara design. In addition, there are three further leather finishes. The decorative surface is designed in Aluminium Hexagon with blue accent trim strip. The M emblem decorates the entry sill and footrest. The M Sport package – made-to-measure ingredients for true sports enthusiasts." |

BMW should just give the enthusiasts a 1M coupe Le Mans
-Le Mans Blue, for obvious reasons -500 pieces, numbered -slightly modified suspension -slightly modified exhaust and mapping, to give it 10 hp extra -replace orange stitching by blue stitching I would be ready to pay 5000 euro extra for something like this, where it is almost no extra cost for BMW. Come on BMW, what are you waiting for |

I love the car in BSM and, when it's clean, it's the meanest looking of the trio. I'm sure the F30 M3 will come in many shades of blue and I may just be ready for one in 2016

that rendering looks fantastic in blue !! My favorite. Been toying over the last year to get M3 or X5M or X3M in this shade of blue...but will wait a year or two for my next car after things settle.My 135i is a keeper and has me totally content for street driving. There is something about the BMW Twin Turbo V8 motor that has me drooling though....but blue it will be if available.
