I find these colors disconcertingly similar. Annoys me to spend $100k on an M5 and anyone with a 328i M-Sport can get the same color.

They are very similar , in bright sunlight Estoril will be lighter . Also on a bigger car Estoril will look very different than on a smaller car. My X5 is Estoril and it looks like a different color when standing next to a E46 / E36 or the like.
As you seem to be a detail fanatic using the right product will make MC a stunning color

When I had my Space Grey E60 M5, it didn't bother me one bit that other cars had the same color.

If you want to be different, that's what individual colors are for.

Also, keep in mind these pictures are taken on a cloudy day. The sun helps bring out the differences in any cars with the same base color (blue vs. blue, red vs. red, etc.)

A 20" version of those F30 wheels would look sweet on the F10
