I guess it depends where you live and how popular the colour is there.
In Europe, Estoril was always a pretty popular colour, and so while nice, it was never bound to get much attention.
Where I live in the Middle East in the 2 years since I've owned my 330e I've seen one other 3 series (period, not just the plug-in) in Estoril blue, and I still get compliments on a weekly basis because it simply stands out next to all the other White/Grey/Silver ones.
I like the Portimoa Blue (though only seen it in the showroom) but personally I think it's nowhere near as special as Estoril Blue, and I'm disappointed they dropped it.
If I replace mine soon I'll be considering other colours while if the EB was on offer I would have no hesitation.
